Saddle bags

Abstract

Bags on a sheet of flexible material are made by doubling back the sheet to form closed bottoms on multiple bags, wherein doubling back the sheet forms front and back panels on the multiple bags, followed by forming side edges on the multiple bags by joining the front and back panels to each other at predetermined locations to form closed seams at the predetermined locations, the closed seams forming the side edges of the multiple bags, and the side edges attaching adjacent multiple bags to each other.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . Multiple bags on a sheet of flexible material, comprising:
 a doubled back first side of the sheet forming closed bottoms on multiple bags in a first series of multiple bags, and a doubled back second side of the sheet forming closed bottoms on multiple bags in a second series of multiple bags, wherein the doubled back first side of the sheet forms front and back panels on the multiple bags in the first series, and the doubled back second side of the sheet forms front and back panels on the multiple bags in the second series;   the front and back panels being joined to each other at predetermined locations and providing closed seams at the predetermined locations, the closed seams comprising side edges on the multiple bags; and   adjacent multiple bags being attached to each other at the side edges.   
     
     
         2 . The bags of  claim 1 , comprising:
 perforations through the sheet at the predetermined locations for detaching respective multiple bags from the sheet.   
     
     
         3 . The bags of  claim 1 , comprising:
 first handle openings through the sheet, wherein the multiple bags in the first series include the first handle openings; and   second handle openings through the sheet, wherein the multiple bags in the second series include the first handle openings.
