   I love it! That fabulous lining is like the bag’s secret identity.
   I’m definitely interested in the bag over the pattern. Try as I might, I have a horrible time following patterns. I just do not think and learn that way!

   It is really great indeed. I would love to make my own version, so I’d go for the pattern. I have some nice climbing lantern pod waiting to become a nice lining. P.S.: I love your t-shirt style it is incredibly creative and very feminine. Thanks for that!

     I want the bag! And the pattern too, but I have so many projects in line, it would take too long to enjoy. Cute tag, too. It’s all about the details.
