Stripey Strap Bag Reviewed by Kristine Laga on 2008-09-11
After making this bag, according to the directions, I remade, increasing to twice the width, and shortening the straps. The first one, according to the direction was too small and the straps were way to long. Love my second one! I chose balck & teal.
