Lessons learned from making the pattern at 66%:

• foam does not belong on such a small bag -- it is too structured
• this is like the right size for a tween purse or little girl purse

So now I've made the pattern at 85% of normal size as well. I never came up short anywhere, and it was a lot like the first time I made the bag except it went much faster. All I have left to do is make the strap. Well, that and iron it when my sleeve board gets here, because both bags are too small to fit on the end of my ironing board.
