Project shopping bag part 2

I liked how the small bag came out so I moved up to the next size ans then it was good too, so I moved up to the large size! Excellent!

See the middle sized bag is on top of the large size bag, it's quite a difference.

And the next best thing is that I used up this coordinating fabric that I had stashed for quite awhile. I seem to remember thinking of making a bag or purse from it back when DD was in middle school!! I'm thinking that these big bags just might make good Christmas gift exchange bags, maybe in a more gender neutral pattern. So I was just looking at the pattern envelope to see the number and jeez!! The retail on this baby is $17.95!!!! Get outta here!!!! You can buy it at McCallpattern dot mccall dot com for 10 but i got it at JoAnn for 99 cents! Gotta watch those sale flyers!! Wonder what the deal is with pattern companies? Nobody would pay $17.95 for a bag pattern!!!!
