Burda Style For people who sew

Description

Made this one from a pattern I found at Uhandbag.com (credited below). I have mixed feelings about how it turned out. I think if I make it again I will make the strap ends fatter and sew them to the outside of the bag, a few inches down from the top edge. I think it might look better that way. Also maybe put another external pocket on the side without the internal zipper pocket njust to break up all the open space. I dunno. I love how it looks from the side though, with the drawstrings and the bunching.

Material Notes

Red/ivory stripe upholstery fabric, burgandy synthetic blend of some sort that isn't stretchy but has a nice sheen to it, red zipper, gold magnetic snap, large gold eyelets, fleece as interfacing, plastic flexible tubing inside straps
