This is the smallest version of the Swoon Blanche Barrel Bag. I purchased the pattern on Craftsy over the summer but only completed it a few days ago. Since this was only the second bag I've ever made, I read, and re-read the directions multiple times. The pattern was straight forward but I did rely on a You tube video for the inside zipper pocket. I also added two slip pockets on the the inside. And I ended up using premade piping (which felt a little smallish) because the piping I made kept wrinkling and twisting. I have no idea what I was doing wrong and after multiple frustrating attempts, I gave up and purchased piping. I think I will change out the straps at a later date. I'd like to use polyester webbing with the existing straps sewn over it for a sturdier feel.
I can't wait to try another bag!
Cheers!
