Made by Olivia of Alpine Heart & Sew<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivia customised her bag by using swivel hooks and D-rings on the flap. She also changed out the top for a zip closure. We love how it looks! But please note the swivel hooks and zip options are NOT included in the pattern instructions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
