9/4/2011 02:06:43 PM Report AbuseI'm the designer of the 6 pocket bag - and somehow my pattern posted here shows my measurements incorrectly. For the correct pattern, I please ask anyone wanting to make this bag to visit's BH&G's All People Quilt site and make the pattern from there. http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/projects-ideas/bags-pillows/pick-a-pocket-purse_1.html
