Boxie Bag

I wasn't sure how this one was going to turn out.  I found a free sewing patten for it posted to Pinterest  Since it was a free pattern, I decided to give it a try.

What I liked about it...

• Really cute
• Looks great, and shows no exposed seams except for some top stitching around the zipper area.
• Pretty spacious

What I didn't like about it...

 The photos that were used to walk you through the steps were not very clear at times.  I found myself second guessing what I was supposed to be doing.

• I think the pattern maker got the dimensions wrong of the end tabs.  I would probably have made them 2"x 3" instead of the recommended 1" x 3".
• I couldn't find much of a reason to press the middle points of the interior and exterior fabric at the beginning of the tutorial, since you have to do it again later.
• I used a featherweight interfacing.  I would use a little bit more heavy duty interfacing in the future.
