A picture from her book..Below, (my interpretation)

So, I am making this bag for a friend and I screwed up royally, but I like the alterations I had to make in order to fix it. First, If you don't add a lot of room for your seam allowances you end up with a ginormous bag. I realized I had messed up when the shell looked more like a huge skirt. So, I added some pleats to mine. Also, The pattern calls for braided fabric, which I just didn't feel like doing, so I made piping and left the edges raw then twirled them and sewed them together. All in all I really like the end result. This was a super easy pattern to use.
