This is a design by Emma Brennan which I have modified. I love her designs, but find them needing additional upgrading like zippers, interlinings, and strap designs. This is a style from the 1940’s in which I’ve added an internal zipper, cross-body adjustable strap and heavy interlinings. The front drape is purely decorative, but I’m thinking in the future I will line it and use it as a glove holder.
