Pattern tester bags:
The designer says that included in the photos are bags made by her pattern testers. Please be aware that some of the testers have made small modifications to their bags. Instructions for these modifications are not included in the pattern. However, if you’d like to keep your handles out of the seam as shown on the bag with leather handles, you can simply cut your handles 3½” shorter than stated in the pattern and place them further up the panel so they’re away from the seam.
