I did a class a couple of years ago to  make this bag.  It has lots of techniques and the idea was to learn when and  where to use the different Floriani  stabilizers.  In the class all of the  various pieces were prepared but not fully put together.  The bag took much  longer to make than the one day class run, so there was quite a bit to construct  at home.  That is usually not a problem, but the directions accompanying this  pattern were very difficult to understand.  So….. the bag got packed into a  container for “another day”.   
Last week that day came and I pulled  it out, read through the instructions, thought about it, tried a few things,  then got stuck into it.  Needless to say, it eventually turned into a completed  bag.
It is a  beautiful bag, a really useful size with zippered pockets on the outside and  pockets inside as well.

The bag looks fantastic, Marilyn. Bet it feels so good to finish it. I am a bit like that if I can't follow the instructions- I tend to put things aside for another day. ;)
