Bag Tutorials

This is a master list of all the instructions on how to make bags I've found in my travels on the internet, which will hopefully be updated semi-regularly, but will probably be updated very, very sporadically. Hopefully this will be useful to someone other than me - please let me know if you find any dead links! At some point I may turn this into a gallery-style page, with thumbnails, and prettiness, but until then, have a useful collection of links to other people's work.
