It's a perfectly sized everyday bag. Not too large, not too small, with two exterior slip pockets, one lining zipper pocket (I'm quite sure you'll enjoy this new way of installing a zipper pocket) and a smaller lining slip pocket as well. It's wonderfully roomy inside, with plenty of space for a busy day.
It's not a very difficult bag to make, but it does look super chic once finished. I'd say an advanced beginner (some zipper experience is helpful) would be quite comfortable making this bag. And, in case you're a fan of leather straps just like I am, I added an extra page of instructions on how to attach a leather strap and D-ring tabs instead of making fabric ones.

Customer Reviews
I've been eyeing this pattern for a while, finally took the plunge. Made several in faux leather, plan to make more with waxed canvas.
The Vera Slouch bag pattern was exactly what I wanted. The instructions were easy to follow and it came together nicely. I've been challenging myself to use only fabrics and accessories in my stash. I used a blue upholstery fabric and leather look vinyl for the outside and I had only a triangle ring, lobster clasp and rectangle slide bar for the handle. I finally figured how to incorporate them and am very happy with the end product. I will definitely make another and add some other options I like in my bags.
