Thanks, alikigirl. I like the size of this bag and the fact that it's a cross body bag. I need both hands free when I am shopping. I could see making this in a neutral color for the body and then making flaps with themes for Christmas, Fall, Winter, Summer, St. Patrick's day, Easter, dogs, cats, sewing ....... well, you get the idea as I am sure you had these thoughts too. Thanks for including the link to the pattern too. Can't wait to see the next one you make as I am sure there will be a next one, right?
