Guide Review - Lazy Girl Design's Pattern #111 -- Runaround Bag

A while back my daughter traveled with money tucked in her shoe. It was a great idea until she kicked her shoes off in the car and didn't think about the money when they got out of the car for a rest stop... you guessed it... the money was gone.
I decided to make the bag in denim to encourage my daughter using the bag to prevent loosing money. I will say that denim is NOT a suggested fabric and it was heavy and difficult to work with. The pattern is easy to follow and the bag is simple to sew. The directions offer a simple and unique way to sew in the zipper.
I definitely will be making this bag again and have many embellishments in mind for the future.
