Easy, clever construction results in a unique bag with three handy compartments inside and an attractive crossover design outside. In addition to the traditional pattern directions, you may choose to create an inside pocket for your cell phone and/or a zippered pocket on the back. This bag can be made from two complimentary fabrics or double-faced quilted fabric.
