Have you tried the Turning Japanese Bag pattern yet? You should give it a try – it's really easy! Part of the ‘My First Bag series' it's a single pattern piece, no fancy zippers or closures, the handles are ready-made and it's perfect to showcase a really nice fabric or a large scale print.

However, just because it's simple, there's no need to stop there. A simple pattern is often an ideal base to start from if you want to add a few additions of your own.

You can watch me make a few simple changes to the pattern and hardware to create something a little different.
