my first charlie bag. i made the straps longer and lengthened the bag also. i finished it with biased strips and french seams. i didn’t line it. it’s pretty plain but i really like this bag style..i’m sure i’ll be making many more!! this was my first burda style pattern attempt! my daughter liked it too! :P

Great job! I’m going to lengthen as well. I’m tall and always find these types of bags are too short in the straps. This looks like a great size!
