This large bucket bag is soft, slouchy and easy to carry in one of three lengths - hobo, shoulder or messenger. Use it as a tote with another bag inside or as your primary handbag. Either way, make one in a basic all-purpose fabric and make another one in an outrageous color that screams “notice me”.
Pattern includes: instructions, pattern, and measurements for a Daily News Bag.
