A sewing pattern by mail from Studiokat Designs for a wonderful bag with great features giving it a versatile design! A convertible zippered backpack purse. The stunning fabric used in the sample bag in the photo above is a border print designed by Jason Yenter for In The Beginning Fabrics from the “Dreamscapes II” collection. Two roomy, zippered, and completely separate storage compartments, sized right for virtually any wallet. All it takes is an extra o-ring & an extra strap to easily convert your Bangle Buddie into a mini backpack!
