Wow, your bag turned out really great! I love the white topstitching on top of the brown suedecloth - sooooo 70s.

Thanks so much for this review! I love what all you gals are doing with this pattern. I've downloaded it but haven't put it together yet. The hobo bag shape is just always my favorite so I guess it's just a matter of time & finding the right combo of fabrics/materials to get me moving in the right direction! (So much fabric, so little time!)

Great color combination and the topstitching really sets it off.

Very nice. Great solution on the zippered compartment; wouldn't have known it was not deliberate if you hadn't confessed!

Your bag is georgeous! I have been craving this pattern every since I have seen the reviews. Unfortunately it is well after the pattern download is no longer available. I love your version! On the straps, I noticed the end was gathered; is this just a condition of the O ring or did you gather the end?

Thank you for the compliment! I'm still enjoying this bag. I think it looks gathered as the fabric was soft and conformed to the round of the ring. I didn't actually gather it but it is a nice effect. I would be happy to email the pattern to you if you contact me.
