Introducing the Granger Book Bag

For the past few months I have been developing a PDF book bag pattern to share with you guys! Scheduled for release on November 23rd, it will be just in time for the Holiday gift-giving season. I've decided to name this pattern the Granger, after one of my favourite characters in Harry Potter, Hermione. This bag isn't just for smart and sassy ladies though, it is perfect for anyone awesome who has places to go and things to carry!

It has a fabric blocking around the bottom of the bag and flap, offering unique pattern and colour mixing opportunities. The Granger has an inside zipper pocket and kangaroo pocket, and view B has a small kangaroo pocket under the flap. The strap is included in the pattern, but can easily be made from bag strapping if desired.

If you do not have access to bag hardware or would prefer not to buy any, I will do a post on how to make the bag without any hardware so you can still make your Granger!
