This adorable boho bag has 2 looks and is super quick to work up, making it great for vendor market prep. There is a handbag version and a cross body version, all in one pattern. There is also 2 videos included with this pattern. One to show you how to make the cross body bag in full detail and one that shows you how I line this bag since it has an unusual shape. Both are linked throughout the pattern.
