Fall, my preferred word, is my favorite time of year. I created this bag so that I could have a bit of fall with me year around.
This bag has a tight gauge to help keep most items from falling out.
There are a couple of options available, you can easily add a zipper, like I did, or use it open top if that works for you. Another option is to put a pocket inside, mine is for my water bottle, you will have to make this decision before you start working the body of the bag.
The directions include full step-by-step explanations of how to add this pocket, as well as link to tutorials for anything else in the pattern.
