I really like this style of bag, and I love that a person can personalize it by adding or subtracting any of the outside handle pieces. And it can be made in vinyl or fabric. People can’t believe I made it!

Everything is fantastic about this bag!! The size (both options), the shape, the recessed zipper, all of it comes together to create a great bag!
Once again a well-written, easy to follow pattern. This is one of those ones that once you are getting ready to turn it right side out, you’ll stun yourself that, yes you did just make that!!

Evelyn is such a fantastic bag! I love the versatility! The recessed zipper is done in an easy to follow method. The overlays and unique connectors set it apart from other totes.
