I made this from a tutorial from http://www.made-by-rae.com/
but I increased the pattern from A4 to A3. I couldnt work out what to do with the handle so I unpicked the sides, poked it in & then topstiched it in place. I also used heavy interfacing on the lining (calico) as the bag fabric is very thin. Also the handle is quilted. I added a couple of inside pockets, but they are a bit small for any real purpose other than to hold my car park ticket/Oyster card LOL!
I LOVE this bag. I use it most days as it holds my purse, phone & keys and even a bottle of water, yet still fits comfortably under my arm.
This bag has been on my list of things to make for a while now but the size put me off I like your idea of making it bigger, I think I will do the same when I get around to making it x
