Ok so I’m the typical girl who drools at bags and I just figured I’d better start making my own cause I was going bankrupt you see and everyone’s carrying the same stuff here. So i do try and make the free patterns that I can lay my hands on, but I still need to learn alot and the book will help so much and the bag made by Lisa herself? gosh “priceless” I’m praying hard!
I’m not always a fan of large bags, since I am the type that carries a minuscule pocketbook, but that bag is gorgeous. Big, and lovely without being over the top. I’ll definitely be downloading the pattern.
Thank you for the pattern~ It’s lovely. I can’t wait to attempt it.
