I really *heart* this bag! It's a great pattern, and works really well. I chose linen for my bag outer, with some Liberty lawn scraps on the front, Liberty lawn binding, and for the inside pockets I've used a mixture of Kaffe Fasset shot cottons and more Liberty lawn.
The pattern does use a lot of zips, but to great effect. If you're not sure about sewing zips in when you start, you will be by the end of this! I really liked how the bag turns into a round-shaped thing when it's finished, even though it only uses straight seams, and the extra-long top zip lets the bag open really wide.
I chose to stitch the second edge of my binding down by hand, as I wasn't sure I could do it completely neatly by machine.
To me this bag turned out perfectly. Liberty lawn makes anything look good, and mixed with linen it's divine! Try some today!
Can you tell me where I can purchase this pattern please? Kind regards
