I have written this bag in two sizes…one for those who like smaller sized bags
and one for those who like to carry everything they own wherever they go. You may like the idea of using both patterns for a mother/daughter duo! The pockets in the front were my husbands idea…he watched many times as I emptied the entire contents of my purse to find my cell phone or sun glasses and suggested making a bag that had pockets on the outside that would just fit those items…good idea!
