I have made this charm pack several times, which I saw somewhere online but knew I could make something similar.
Daughter #2, the secondary math teacher, needed a new bag to tote her books, papers and laptop to school. When I saw Sweetwater's new line - Elementary I knew that was perfect for a secondary Math teacher. Just take a look
I will get an official tutorial for this bag but it takes one charm pack and the outside is 5 squares in a row by 7 rows. I was in a bit of a hurry to get daughter #2 her bag so this picture is blurry
The lining and handle takes one yard of fabric,
For the inside, I use 6 squares for the pocket. You can see it is folded in half on the second row to make the pocket.
This leaves only one block leftover from the 42 square charm pack. I like when I that happens!
A complete tutorial will happen sometime in October, I have another charm pack of this fabric and I have dd#4 going for a secondary math degree.

The ties on the side help pull the bag in and give it structure. I made these 3" wide by 18" long.
