My version of the Estelle handbag! I made the top band bigger and fixed the handles on the sides.
IKEA fabric, green polka-dotted cotton for lining

I can not get my pleats to look correct, seems like they fall out once the bag is finished. What am I doing wrong?

Very Nice! I do like the wider band. I may try it both ways . . . with the straps on the sides (like you have it), and the straps on the front and back (the way it is in the original). Both have their pluses.

I like your variation – I think the wider band gives it a nicer shape. IKEA fabric is always a winner too.

I agree with Baobab, best var. so far. I am going to make this bag soon, printed the patten on Thursday and was also considering making the top band go all the way to the top but I will keep the handles as they are. Nice job!

This is probably the best Estelle I’ve seen so far! I also like your modifications a lot, so: congratulations!

Sweeeet! Love the pattern mix and your alterations! And the inside pockets! Mind if I copy it? ;-)
