For Lindsay

The last time my faraway daughter came to visit 

she noticed the travel duffel that I made her sister.  

[How many links can a girl throw in one sentence???] 

 I took note when she said she liked it and wanted one for herself.  

I don't know why but when one of my girls likes something that I make I feel very honored.

I have never had a hard time buying stuff for Lindsay, 

but for some reason I couldn't make up my mind on fabric for her bag.  

So in the end I bought the fabric that I had been eyeing for myself!

The one thing that I didn't like about Becca's bag is that the cool burlap cannot be washed,

so I altered the pattern to make Lindsay's machine washable.

The lighting isn't the greatest since I was rushing to get the 

birthday box in the mail before the post office closed.

Here's a side view with the zippered pocket.  

This is a great pattern from Studio Cherie. It's very easy to follow.

 Or if you don't want to make your own, 

Cherie has some ready to purchase.
