Designed For the Fearless Intermediate Sewist
This pattern is designed for an adventurous, experienced sewist. Someone who has sewn a few tote bags and purses, but is bored with the same ol’ same old. This project uses zippers, curved seams, piping, and loads of layers. Not to worry though, there are 16 pages of directions and color photos to guide you along the way.

Great pattern I made it out of used jeans. Next time I would include a shoulder strap because sometimes mums have to carry it amongst other things.
