About a year ago i took a ROP class to sharpen my skills and the first project was this bag

The class was supposed to help you learn how to alter commercial patterns. Our teacher gave us the free pattern for this bag. I had bought some plush fur to make my daughters a coat.. this was for the linning i realized it would be too hot since the outside was going to be Silky furry fleece, and we live in California :P not even on winter this would have been too confty to wear other than from the door to the car and then off!! so i made me this bag it was perfect for it.. sturdy enough not to rip and soft cuddly a la mode punkish.. and was the envy of everyone :D

I altered a bit the pattern added 4 front & back pockets for a total of 12!! the thing was sooo hard to sew it must have been at least 7-9 mm thick i ended up taking off the foot altogether ( i tried the walking foot, the zipper foot i even bought a gadget that is used for sewing through thick inseams nothing worked) but the teacher said i was gutsy and was the best bag out of them all. I was happy and proud! Very easy pattern most of the shapes were rectangles. Would post the measurements and some instrucions if anyone is interested, i made it so much bigger my 5 yr old baby fits in there!! i know... she tried it ;)
