Happy Accident

I love this bag. Even though it isn't at all the bag that I set out to make. I had planned to make a messenger bag and try out this new corner technique that Lynne had told me about when she looked at one of my recent bags. But, part way into it I realized that I hadn't considered how the messenger flap would work with those corners. So, I cut the top part off and decided to go with my normal button closure. Then I thought I should turn the bird fabric into a front pocket instead of just a decorative accent. I made the pocket and then realized again that now the corners wouldn't work. This time I abandoned the corners all together. I'm really happy with how it came out and am now thinking that this will be one of the patterns that I use for the bags I make for Patty Fair.
