This is a great "big" tote bag, 15x15x6. I wanted a pretty alternative to my briefcase or messenger bag for work. I found the pattern, "Batik Expressions Bali Bag" by Virginia Robertson in The Old Country Store in Intercourse, PA. It was all put together in a kit and all I had to do was put it together. Can't wait to take it to my district meetings in a few weeks!
