I love that bag! The fabric is so cheerful and you did a great job with all the details. I'm (almost) inspired to try one myself.

What a great bag! I like it a lot better than Vera Bradley- much more stylish!

That is a wonderful bag.

That is one wonderful gift!

Not only is it practical, but it's beautiful! Now I'm inspired to make one too - thanks for posting the pattern number!

Like so many have said SBG...this is a great bag! I need to make one for #1 DD as she travels alot, too.

That's a beauty!

Love your bag. You did such a professional job with all the details; very VB.

Love that tote bag; very professional looking.
I just googled Simplicity #2274 and saw a few bags that were made and yours looks so much better; like it stands up better. Are there some tips you could share with us, like batting, etc.
Thanks for sharing.

Very Nice.

I love the pop of green in the zipper. I am sure she will love the gift.
