I know you've been waiting with bated breath to see my finished Frenchy bag. (You have been waiting with bated breath...right?) I appreciate everyone's opinions. They helped me realize that I didn't have the right fabrics to make the bag I wanted. After doing some research, I figured out that the fabrics I had were all from Amy Butler's Nigella home decor line, but they were from different colorways. So I found a fabric I like in a smaller scale that actually matched my favorite exterior fabric, and voila! Frenchy was born. Without further ado...
This is a great pattern with very clear instructions. I'm glad I used the home decor fabric. It makes for a sturdy bag. It has lots of fancy details like a lining, pockets, and even a magnetic snap closure. I pretty much love it.

Love it! Your craftiness continues to blow my mind.
I love it too. I actually have been waiting. I'm glad you got the fabrics worked out.
I'm here to report that I saw this bag with my own eyes today, and it is just as fabulous as it appears in pictures. On second thought, it's more fabulous. Much more.
Wow. That is awesome. Impressed. Totally.

Cute, I love the Amy Butler patterns. Here are a few of the purses I have made too.

Oh, I love this bag...I've been wanting to make this pattern too! I might use some of Amy's new line when the heavier weight is available!
Wow, it looks great!
I'm so super impressed. Can't wait to see it in person. And, yes, now I can breathe again.
I like that you wait for the right choice of color and fabric. You don't settle for less than what your vision is. Nice work Katie. Aunt Mary
