Love the size of this bag. So practical and it will hold a gazillion things. I have decided to use a different fabric for the flap which, thusfar, looks great. Also I am not using batting but I am using a stiffening layer in the bag section just to give the bag a bit of 'body'. Really looking forward to the finished bag!
