I love this bag pattern so much that I have made 3 so far. One in denim, one in a mix of denim and striped fabric with the third one in a mixture of floral prints and they are all gorgeous! They are great as gifts and the pattern is so detailed and easy to follow that you will also want to make more than one.

This bag looks so simple, but that's what makes it great for everyday use. I love that there is a pocket on the outside!
