Thank you so much for the lovely comments! I am very beginner and this is my first pattern of burda but I am very happy with it I am going to make more!
With my version i ironed the creases in to get that heavy pleats effect, that means that the bag becomes smaller and as a result the lining you have cut out will be a bit big but i recitified it by simply cutting off the extra mateiral before sewing the lining to the outerbag.
Thanks again for the nice words, its really encouraging.

This bag is wonderful and very inspiring.
The fabric combo. is perfect. It looks very professionally sewn.
“LOVE IT!”
I printed the pattern right out after seeing it. I have an aunt that is a school teacher and this bag would be perfect for her to carry work back and forth.
