Tutorial: Sling library book bag

We make good use of our public library during the summer. Becky from Patchwork Posse guest blogs at Skip To My Lou with a tutorial showing how to make this sling library book bag that will make carrying your books to and from the library a breeze. The front of the bag is slightly lower than the back, making it easy to reach in and find the book you want. Go to Skip To My Lou to find her tutorial.
