Sweep, loft? "plastic bag"

Greetings! 

 

I'm looking for some fast help over here. I've searched but not found anything that can help me for this.

 

So, i am going to make a "plastic bag". Nothing fancy doh.

I want it to look kinda like the fast paint drawing i've made.(Blue color is where it is flat. Red color is what i dont want) I kinda know how to use the feature and can for example make the easy part i've atteched.

But I don't how to make the ends end with a flat surface like on the drawing.
And should i use loft or sweep?

 

Please tell me if you need more explanation.

That is easily accomplished with a couple tweaks.

Hi! Here is another solution. It seems like the boundary of the bag is fixed but the shape within the boundary can vary (undetermined). The geometry can be easily created by using Boundary Patch. Let me know if more information is needed.

Thanks!
