mygirl66 - I agree that $12 is a good deal. It is a really nice pattern with a stapled instruction booklet, and the pattern pieces are printed on nice thick paper stock, not flimsy tissue. I found my pattern on discount at a craft show for $9, but I would have paid the $12 without a doubt, just for the style of the bag. Now that I've made it and know what a nice pattern it is and how well drafted it is, $12 seems a steal.
You should make it! It's a perfect summer beach or shopping bag. Or, dare I say, quilt shop hop bag. :)
