Square Bottom Bag

I sure love a good bag. Without actually trying to be a bag lady, sometimes I settle into the role quite comfortably. Does anyone else feel my pain? ; )
This last weekend I attended the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) conference in Dallas. Although the conference wasn't even three full days, I packed all of my belongings in 4 different bags: One suitcase, one computer case, one ATPE bag and my new square bottom bag!
I truly tested this bag out the past two weeks and guess what? It passed the durability test! One night I even stuffed it full with 10 books, a purse, shoes and my iPad. The best part of this bag is the sturdiness of the handles...I love quilting parallel lines!
My label completes the look. These bags are also helping me practice my free motion quilting, too!
Here is a red square bottom bag that will soon belong to my awesome math friend, Dana. I'm confident she's going to love it! Do you need one for your bag collection? Let me know your favorite color and I'll stitch one up for you!

    I love bags too!! I want to make some knitted ones. They will probably have to be lined so they won't stretch out so badly! Your look great!

    I love those bags! I've totally become a bag lady too. Where did you get the pattern? if you don't mind sharing.

      I bought it at a quilt fest. I'll have to check what the name was and get back to you when I get home to Austin. I don't even have an electronic file.

      I found it online! Just FYI...there were some mistakes in it. Looks like they posted the revision though.
