Oziroo said... Your bag looks very attractive. Thanks for this review. I have looked at this pattern and have wondered how the bag closes. The drawstring is quite a surprise. Does it make the top of the bag bulky?

SewVeryTall said... Great review and photos, Kathleen. This bag is just too cute! I really like the outside flaps that aren't really flaps at all...and then the seperate hidden drawstring to close it [a quick look at the pattern, you'd never guess]. Too bad you weren't able to get it done before the trip/wedding, but it goes with the dress beautifully. 11/6/05 4:32 AM

Liana said... What a cute bag, and it's a very usable size. I think it looks great as is, but some contrast trim would look very nice, too. 11/6/05 9:42 AM

Asa Hagstrom said... Ooohhh, very cute! I think it looks great just the way it is, or maybe with a single white flower from your trim. I hadn't noticed this pattern before, but it's on my wishlist now! 11/6/05 11:05 AM
Leslie in Austin said... Oooo! I love it! What a perfect complement to your dress--very proper. :-) Your workmanship is impeccable. Thanks for mentioning how you did the handle--so clever! 11/6/05 11:18 AM

Linda L said... I really like your bag. I am sure it looked great with your dress. 11/7/05 4:29 AM
KathleenS said... Thankyou everyone! Yes, I didn't fully understand the closure before I got the pattern, so thought the picture might be useful. It doesn't make the top of the bag bulky as the two flaps don't come together of their own accord anyway. I think the bag is approx 4" across. The top of the bag will get wider/further apart if you fill it more. 11/7/05 5:06 AM
