This bag is everywhere. I had to try one for myself! The original is tiny (but adorable!) so I enlarged it and added some extra size and length to the strap. The fabric is a very popular one by Henry Alexander. I actually found it at JoAnn Fabrics! It was sort of a miracle since most of their fabrics are so crappy!
I should have added the magnetic snap like the pattern called for but Cal had used it for his "tool" collection and I couldn't find it anywhere! I used flannel for the interior lining and a thrifted denim for the exterior lining (if that makes any sense!)
WELLLLLL, I just drew a line about and inch all around the pattern after i cut it out. the top piece thing I made a little wider but it didn't need much sizing change after i did the pleats. Have you done this bag before? EASY EASY! You will like it!

How do you enlarge a pattern without getting the proportions all out of whack?
