Comments/reviews:
“This is a great everyday bag that can be as casual or dressy as you’d like to make it. There are so many options that let you express your own personal style. With the adjustable strap you don’t even have to make it a crossbody bag for those of us that prefer a non-crossbody option.” ~Amy
“It’s a great everyday size bag with so many options that you can totally customize it to suit your needs.” ~Debbie
“If you want a simple bag, you can easily make this in no time with none of the options. But if you want a challenge and want to learn new techniques, this sewing pattern gives you that too. It’s a great bag that the beginner sewer can easily handle but it gives the experienced bag maker some new techniques also!” ~Mitzi
“This is a wonderful, well written and easy sewing pattern with different options for pockets and straps. These sturdy little hipsters are awesome!!!” ~Madelyn
“I made the Serena strap option and I love everything about her. Just the right size and lots of pockets all in a stylish package!! I used Cotton & Steel Tokyo Train Ride print with a linen/cotton canvas exterior. I hope you love her as much as I do.” ~Jean

If you want one zipper or four, boxed corners or not…oh and the best part, you can even decide what handles your bag has! All in one pattern. The directions are extremely well written, every step is clarified in detail. Great chance to learn techniques you might not already know!” ~Melinda
