And for the record, I love that the inside of the strap is the same fabric as the lining!!

I often find that with bag patterns the bag wasn't made by following the written instructions accompanying the pattern - with the 'big names' often the end product and pattern pieces are sent to someone else to figure out how it was constructed and write it upKaty Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374079358515448439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089227595191821356.post-10130878514801265572013-03-20T10:55:09.853-04:002013-03-20T10:55:09.853-04:00The pink one looks good to me!The pink one looks good to me!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301601844716579625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089227595191821356.post-52529419941304017772013-03-20T10:05:15.094-04:002013-03-20T10:05:15.094-04:00definitely the pink one, the shape is much better....definitely the pink one, the shape is much better. Could you put in a gusset all the way up and have it protrude above the zipper and fold down to encase the D ring?

The green one - it looks like your strap doesn't fit. It's too narrow or the strap space is too wide? To be honest, I have made bags that look like this (strap looks like doesn't fit) and I've sold them and nobody seemed to notice or care. You could consider it a "design feature".jane phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17982232223532908863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089227595191821356.post-47323844073282607912013-03-20T03:09:49.831-04:002013-03-20T03:09:49.831-04:00I vote for the pink one too, the way you've at...I vote for the pink one too, the way you've attached the straps just compliments the shape of the bag better IMO however they are both great bags. :)Jacq Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04720788276272548617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089227595191821356.post-31620253204864892942013-03-20T01:02:55.551-04:002013-03-20T01:02:55.551-04:00I prefer the shape of the pink one, and I think wi...I prefer the shape of the pink one, and I think with a little bit more fabric to work with it will look neater too.

Once the green one has been filled with things, though, the shape will no longer matter :D <br /><br />Or you can attach the zipper in a "recessed" manner? Like not on top but kinda inserted into the bag? I don't know what it's called, obviously, and it's most likely not part of the pattern haha!Mereamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15048272688454882135noreply@blogger.com
