I am so proud that it is finished I took me all day. I did modify the pattern alittle. I added 2 extra pockets on the inside and one on the outside. I also made the sides and bottoms twice as wide as the pattern called for. I wish I would have used a heavy duty interfacing because it does collapse. But other than that I am happy with it.
Now I think I will buy a bowtuck pattern.
