This bag was really fun to make, and reasonably priced. It's also a good size. It is 9.5 inches tall without the handles, and 16 inches tall with them. It is 9.5 inches wide as well, and 3 inches deep. If you actually follow the pattern you might get a slightly larger bag, I had to do some fudging throughout due to lack of reading all directions first. :) It has 12 pockets on the inside, and 2 pockets on the outside. Overall, it would make a great everyday purse. The fusible batting that I used helps the bag to keep it's shape really well too. Please join us in making a bag a month for 2011! In closing, here are some gratuitous shots of the bag from other angles.
