Thank for the help went and looked at all the pictures. Great little bag. Now where do I get the pattern? Have you seen any on-line shops carring it?

Just bought my pattern to,that was a good question as I was wondering the same thing.I am glad to read they hold up well

I love mine. I have only been using it for about a month. So far it's holding up great. Have fun.

I made one for myself and my sister because I thought they were so, so cute. I have been using mine now for about 10 months and believe me it gets tossed around quite a bit and I still love it and it still looks great. In fact, I still get inquiries about it at different places where I shop. Go for it, you will love it.

I was just wondering though if anyone knows how well they stand up to everyday use. If they get tossed around or tugged on that they dont just get worn down after a few weeks?

Thanks!

I have made 5 of these and I love them. I add a layer of fusible decor bond to mine besides the 987F fusible fleece. It makes it stiffer and not so flimsy looking. I love this pattern!

My daughter and I made my granddaughter a bag a year ago. Had 8 gromets in it. Really cute- tried to find the name of it but can't right now. So made my other granddaughter one for this past Christmas but we changed it so it is really a bow tuck bag. We also made 3 more. One for her and myself and her pastor's wife. Since we were new at it it did take us awhile. If I knew how to post a photo I would do so. Need one of my children to give me lessons.
They are wearing quite well except for the one with the gromets.

Mine is still going strong. With all the layers of fabric and batting I think they are pretty sturdy.
