The pattern pieces are color coded according to the fabrics you use, and there are labels you cut out to pin to the pieces of fabric you have cut. There is also a material list, telling you what you need of fabrics and hardware to make this bag. There is a cutting list as well, to tell you how many of each pieces you need to cut, and in which fabric.

The Bag:

The back has a zipper pocket large enough for a phone, and the lining features a decorative zipper pocket and a slip pocket as well. The raw edges on the inside are covered with a bias tape, which makes the bag easier to assemble. For the front fabric you have to use a non-fray fabric like cork, vinyl or leather. The adjustable shoulder strap is made with two different materials.
