My biggest hesitation about making a bag like this is the zipper. I fail miserably at machine-stitched zippers, though I've successfully put hand-picked zippers in skirts and dresses. Do you think a hand-picked zipper would work?Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703345404636516654.post-15070066075280495162012-10-24T15:52:20.440-07:002012-10-24T15:52:20.440-07:00I worry about some of the things that you mentione...I worry about some of the things that you mentioned: strap breaking, lack of shape, making a mistake requiring throwing it away, terrible top stitching, homemade (not handmade) appearance.

It's a real step up from quilt construction, I imagine. Still, the more I see, the more I want tot make one. While I've never taken a quilting class, I think I would be best advised to make my first bag via a class. I would love if someone would offer a class in this particular bag.
