I picked Amy Butler's Frenchy bag pattern. I liked Amy Butler's patterns. She makes if very easy for a beginner to follow. I'll probably make some changes the next time I make one of these. For instance I want to move the magnetic clip up a bit and I also think I will sew a stitch down the middle of one inside pocket. Those pockets are huge and just sort of flap around. But over all really liked making this.
