:: the wasp bag

This is a large squashy bag that holds everything you need for a busy day. It has a key strap and an internal pocket; and two shoulder straps with a cute button detail. I named it the Wasp Bag because the original used a fabric from Echino with wasps on it. I hope you enjoy making and using it.
