Atelier Brunette Le Sac Banane (Intermediate)

This is a nice bag which turned out well in the end. I nearly gave 3* because some of the instructions were not easy to follow. I’ve made several bags so wasn’t put off by the ‘intermediate’ rating. However I did need to read through the pattern steps several times before and during making. Some steps needed clearer instructions and diagrams. I persevered and I like how the bag now it’s finished.
I made it in the Atelier Brunette twill and bought the 40cm zip too. I love the fabric as it’s soft, but a nice weight for this bag. I did find the metal zip too chunky and it didn’t sit well around the curve so I swapped it for a nylon zip. This worked much better.
The only amendment I made to the pattern was to add an iron - on woven interfacing to the lining pieces.
It wasn’t clear which width of webbing / bag sliders to use for the strap. I used 38mm size but a narrower size would work too..
