i have made over 40 of these bags.. and i have 3 left in stock and trying to make more to add to my etsy store.. i just can't sneak my own versions in. lol
and... yes my daughter now owns 3 of mine as well !

the tweed is just heavier upholstery material. this is the second and third one i have made from this fabric..

Where did you get the pattern. I have three granddaughters, one daughter and one DIL plus three sisters and one SIL. What a great bag for gifts.

Classy. With the tweed it looks high class. Great job. Fabric really can make a remarkable difference. :-D
