I like it!  It's a lot bigger than I first thought.  Nice bag.

Thanks I am pleased with how it came out, and learned some new things so win all the way around.

Awfully nice bag. She looks happy with it (and she’s awfully pretty, too). 

Thanks

This is a lovely bag! It will last a lifetime for her because her daddy made it. No better reason to build something.

Amazing! 

Can I ask if you made your own pattern? 

Really nice work!

Yes, was a compilation of a smaller bag I had made my other daughter a few years ago, and some bags I had seen here and on line.  Took a couple pieces of Bristol board used for erasable markers (stiffer than plain Bristol board) and tape, but now I have it in case insanity hits me again. I usually will make patterns for larger projects after working out proportions/measurements on paper.

Photos is her having packed it to fly home.

That is true
