Made a bag

I made this bag today with a fat quarter pack I got for my birthday. I am going to make another one in purple later :)

The day before yesterday mum and I went to Ballarat patchwork and Mum got me this pattern. We are going there again tommorow and I will get some fabric to make it with.
