I just found your blog and love your work! I am new to making Japanese patterns. I brought back several books from a trip to Tokyo and m so inspired! This bag is so cute!
Thanks Justine! just head over to my other blog http://www.japanesesewingbooks.com if you need any help with those books. Would love to see what books you bought too!

May i know where you get the tutorial/pattern to sew this bag?
Hi Pearl, I actually came up with it myself, because I needed it to fit my kid’s A4 size files, but I didn’t want it to be too big, so I just measured the files and added some allowances. For the side pockets they are just cut out wider and I added an elastic band to the top so that their waterbottles can stay in place and yet away from the books. I am hoping to release some free tutorials soon if I have the time to draft them out properly, but as it is I have no time!
So adorable! I am trying to get ideas for a Library bag for my niece. I really love the side pockets on your bag.
