As promised to my daughter Dana here is her Aqua wavy top bag which she wants to take to school for a few of her personal items. She told me she absolutely loves it (saw it in the middle of making on Sunday). She told me she didn't want an inside zip, just to leave it open which I did. I also put some little bag studs on the base, just to keep it off the ground. I used 4 fabrics, a chevron stripe, a pin spot, a two tone aqua print and a tri-coloured blue, green and white fabric.

Dana starts teaching school next Tuesday (Monday is Australia Day Holiday) full time, due to a person on maternity leave. She told me she is a bit anxious about it, but I told her she will be wonderful. Dana has been at the school for 11 years so knows everyone of the staff and of course the children. Thanks for looking at this beautiful bag, love Chris.

Thanks so much Theresa - you can't go wrong with Aqua. Funny you wrote DD (which I know you meant as Darling Daughter) as that is what her friends and husband call her. I on the other hand always call her Dana - he he he! Love Chris

Another great bag, Chris. Dana should love it. I always liked dots, but the chevon is nice and I like the bubbles.

Did you enlarge the large size or not?
by pennifold 20 Jan 2015
Yes, I made it 4 inches longer than the large pattern. It's long enough to hold a folder! Love Chris
