I just made one; no pattern involved. Purchase a couple of coloring books and a box of crayons. Make the bag 2" bigger all around than the coloring books, and the same for the box of crayons. I chose a big box of crayons. Add a handle about 12-14 inches long, and done. I lined it, too. Really came out cute! My grand neice loves it. She carrys around her "My little ponies" in it.
