Accordion bag pattern test...
I have been quiet but not unproductive lately. One of the finishes that I haven't been able to show was a pattern-testing-proofreading project for Sara at SewSweetness. Sara has just released her Accordion bag pattern - available to buy in her shop - and I was one of the lucky ones to test it for her. This is Sara's prototype:
And this is my version
Sara had initially labelled it 'beginner friendly, but with curves, tiny pleats (which drove me distracted) and sewing through about 8 layers or more when attaching the flap - well, you'd have to be a darn good beginner!
I lengthened the strap on mine a little from the original instructions - I'm a fair bit taller than Sara - but that was the only modification I made. If you want to read Sara's full write up and see a heap of other fantastic versions of this bag, you can check out her full post here.

Hi Laura! Your new bag is fantastic! Hugs! x Teje
I love your version Laura and your honest appraisal of the level!
I'm sure you haven't been quiet, you just haven't been wittering on here ;o) Glad you got your bag sorted in the end!
love your bag.....
It looks awesome! I have to admit, I think yours was my favorite.. I love the black and white with that little splash of color on the front. :D
When I saw your post title in my reader I thought you'd made a bag for an accordion - but this looks much more useful! I love sara's and yours but I especially like your fabrics. I agree it looks very tricky for a beginner piece :)
I checked out the pics of the rest of the bags. They all look great, including yours!
A pattern writer needs an honest pattern tester! Good on you!
Your bag looks great. Love it in the black and white
