Thanks again for sharing!!!
PS what type of batting did you use?? Just wondering. We have teachers appreciation next week and I would love to make these for my son's teachers.
Thanks! Yes, I did use the same measurements as the directions; and yes i thought mine were a bit more on top than the pic too. Could be because I used medium weight pelon on the half of the pocket piece towards the outside of the bag. I used thin low-loft batting i got from a quilt shop, but i used a double layer of it on each side. One layer didn't provide enough body for the top to stand up tall and proud. Same reason I added the pelon...i didn't want saggy pockets.
Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. I'll post more as I get them done :). I'm gonna switch up the pattern for awhile...don't want to get board doing the same one over and over without a break.
