This is a great little pattern! I made a few of the small bags to use as Christmas gift bags and they turned out so cute! Cute enough to be used again and again as a gift bag or even as a tiny tote. The pattern instructions were clear and easy to follow. I highly recommend this pattern!

I made 3 of these bags in the small size as teacher gifts for Christmas and they're turned out so cute! The instructions were great and I did the shorter handles with the boxed bottom.
