JeanieG....Isn't that the GREATEST bag pattern?! I've made two....a mini and a regular. Since I tend to carry my life in my purse, the regular is best for me.......Yours is lovely......I know you will get tons of use from it......The longer handles are great, too, for "cross dressing".....LOL! I usually wear mine across the body as well.....does take some of the stress off the shoulders......
