Black grocery bags filled with baguettes, fruits and veggies through the Promenade Farmers Market downtown Long Beach, CA., was just a few memories carried into adulthood. Coming from a family where fashion matters; I needed to design something better, something bigger, and something 
just plain cute!
Promenade Bag was designed especially for those who MUST look the part while shopping from local growers and bakers.
Well, ladies...I did it! I forced myself to turn a WIP to a FO, and I did. Nothing big like a sweater or anything, but it's satisfying I do say.
If anyone is interested in the pattern, let me know, I can have one available in a few days.
WOW! You designed that!?! It's awesome. I'd love a copy of your pattern. Where'd you get the handles?

Very cute bag! I like the picture for it as well.. but I'm going to have to be a geek and ask what font you used for the words in the photo because I like it.

I'm a first time visitor and I love the bag. I hope this is where I go to ask if I could get a copy of the directions. This site is fabulous.

I love this! I just bought a bag like this recently but I like this b/c the handles are much sturdier.
Could you send me a copy of the pattern, pretty please?
cheers!
