My recommendations to make the Swoon Carter bag work harder and last longer!

I've been using my Swoon Carter Messenger bag for a few months now and I've identified some areas that would benefit from extra reinforcement to make it stronger.
I love this pattern, you can get it at swoonpatterns.com

Love this! Thank you. Really hope more bag makers will do this, so helpfull. As I sew bags myself but don't use them all that much I've honestly been a little afraid to sell bags because I have no idea how they will hold up. Since they're expensive to sew they will be expensive to sell, and I would just hate selling a bag that breaks on a customer way to fast.

How tall is finished bag? Will it hold a bible 10 long by 6 wide and a small note book. I hope you show your bag with repairs done.
