This is an instant classic with 40's flair. The roomy Swing Bag is the perfect day trip or run around town tote. The finished bag measures 17" wide x 24" tall. The finished scarf measures 5 1/2" wide x 59" long. Customer Reviews: Swingy swanky tote   June 25, 2007  6 out of 6 found this review helpful Amy Butler has catapulted to sewing stardom on the merits of her bag patterns, and the Swing Bag pattern is a great example of her work. Her instructions are verbose and well diagrammed, making this an excellent choice for a beginner. The materials called for in this bag are simple and readily available (no specialty interfacing, for example) which also favors the beginning sewing enthusiast, and yet the result is no ordinary dowdy tote bag. The trapezoid shape with the scooped out topline is chic, and the reversible nature of the bag makes it doubly fun.br /br /This isn't to say it is faultless as a sewing pattern. Many people (myself included) dislike her choice for where to turn the bag - she recommends in the highly visible topline when a side seam makes much more sense. She neglects to edgestitch the topline, and while this is easily remedied (just do it!) a beginner would not know that this will give a professional look to the bag without being told. br /br /I have made quite a few of these, and on some I have made my own modifications to this bag... adding a built-in cell phone pocket, a zipper pocket, mitering the corners, adding a key carabiner loop, etc. But even without any modifications at all, this is a versatile and sophisticated totebag that makes a great introduction to hand-bag sewing. It is a pattern well worth owning.
