Bag progress

Its all cut out and ready to go. I made it a little bigger so that two A4 four files would fit in. (measurements 18 across 17 down) Also have made it in one strip of fabric rather than two so the base should be really strong.

I found some lovely contrast fabric that was a bit more girly for the flap and pockets. DD came home (not the one who it is for but one of the others) and remarked that I had bought that fabric for her in year 8 to make a tote bag at school. She then arranged the blocks from the "first steps" for me! She has a good eye and a good memory. Oh to be 21 again!
