Can I ask about how much fabric is needed for one bag? I know there is at least 2 different fabrics used. But was just wondering.... Thanks in advance.

They are very sturdy ... the fusible interfacing makes them strong.

All things wear ... and type of fabric you use will determine it's durability. And of course, how much rigorous wear you are giving this thing!

I actually used mine as a diaper bag. :) I did make it out of home dec fabric.

The one I made out of cotton is holding up just fine after about 6 months (I think that's when I made it)

I made two for myself and ohhhhhh about 15 or 20 for gifts,we all carry them everyday.Wash and wear well.No problems

Awesome! The responses just make me even more excited to get one made! OOOOH I wish i had the patience to wait for the pattern to arrive! I'm so excited!!! YAYY!

Mine is tossed around and abused pretty much and is holding up well!

I've been using mine non stop since last July!!!

Very interesting. Never heard of this pattern before. Always looking for a new bag. Could someone please tell me whos pattern it is and where to see a finished bag. Thank you. Love all the help and info I get here.
