Made this for myself

Made this for myself for when I go on walks. I made the straps much thicker to hold more weight, and it works great!

I'm so happy that you're loving it!! If you post your creation on social, please tag us!! :heart:

Because I love bags

Mkay: the weave is a little loose on this one, but it's a great large sack type bag--perfect for learning to add a fabric liner! Mine turned out great!
