Notes: 

My friend Dana is a seamstress and I taught her to weave tapestry, spin and backstrap weave.  I wanted a keepsake of our time together (as I am returning to FL) so I came up with the design, with Doni Delis bag in mind and she picked the lining and assembled the tote.  She even put a zipper in it for me, along with plenty of pockets.  You can even see a cell phone pocket on the inside of the strap!  The one with the little lady figure. 

I am going to miss my friend alot.  This bag will be very special to me.

I have no idea why this printed 3 times and I can't find a way to delete it?  So sorry folks.
