Verry pretty & I also like the outer stitching.

Big difference in patterns seems to be size (this one is larger tote size) and mine does not have that cute pocket on the outside. Do you mind me asking how you made the outside pocket? The triangular "flap" really adds design to it and is the circle a covered button or just fused circle?

For the outside pocket, you just use two 5" charms, cut them down to 4" x 5" and sew on the 5" side. The flap is a 5" charm cut in half diagonally and then sewn together RST. The "circle" is actually a decorative button I picked up at either Joann's or Walmart a couple years ago.
