Her class is called Colorful Patchwork Bags and Baskets and her patterns are super versatile. Have you ever taken a Craftsy class? They are so fun and I always learn something new when I watch one. In Caroline's class, she teaches how to make tote bags, zipper pouches, and fabric baskets using a fun and fail proof patchwork technique. Once you learn the techniques you can make any size bag or basket that you'd like.
Of course I chose to make a bag....of course.
My favorite part about this pattern is that it uses gridded interfacing by Pellon that makes for super easy patchwork piecing.
Here's a view of the inside where there are more pockets.
And the fabric on the handles is my favorite.
If you are curious about the fabrics I used:
Patchwork: Priory Square by Katy Jones.
Dot chambray: Robert Kaufman
Plain Denim from Joann
And if you are trying to recreate this very bag I started with 5'' charm squares.
The tote bag is just one of the projects you can make in this class. Caroline also shows you how to make fabric baskets and zipper pouches in a variety of sizes. Isn't that little tiny pouch so cute?

*In full disclosure, this post contains Craftsy affiliate links. I was given a free link to take this class and supplied with some interfacing and supplies to make the cute tote you see above. But, I truly think this is a brilliant pattern and hope you'll try it out. If you do, let me know what you think.
Happy Sewing!!
