Bow Bag : Free Sewing Pattern
Bag designer J. Kimberling calls this her ‘Luscious Big Bow’ bag. It’s a bit quilted in that it uses a number of different but compatible fabrics, but not so much that it will put off a non-quilter.
The bag was originally designed to promote the lovely fabrics. Then Kimberling offered the design of the bag free. Thank you Kimberling! I like both the big bow, the slight tapering at the top of the bag and the overall simplicity of the design. 
This bag is indeed very festive. Summery, but yet, if you pick the right color scheme for your fabrics, you can easily wear it into Fall.
Have a look at the bag, closed up. Lovely, right?!
