Hello- I made a bag this weekend, based on your tutorial. I really like it. I am impressed with the ease and style of the bag. The pattern was easy for me to follow, although I am not yet too accomplished at sewing. My only complaint is that the handles seemed a bit wimpy for such a bag. I redid mine with fusible fleece inside the double fold bias. It makes the handles seem to go better with the bag. Thanks for the tutorial. I am going to try your Jenny bag too.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I made this bag two times today and I`m in love with them.
Dankeschön!!!

Thanks for the great pattern! I made a super-sized Angel today and love it. I'm already scheming to make another one :)
