I enjoy sewing purses and usually end up making several every year as Christmas gifts.
I’ve pretty much everything from the most basic tote-bags to elaborately quilted and embellished purses. I have to admit – I enjoy it when people actually use the bags I make too 
I think this may be a pattern I try out this year for gifts – and even better, it’s free!
Fabric.com is offering this great “Nomad” hobo bag as a free download until January 14th, 2010. So you’ve got lots of time to download it
Simple hobo bags are great for everything from book bags, everyday purses to loading up in the farmer’s market. You can make them dressy by using a decorative fabric, or keep it simple with a cotton twill or plain medium-weight fabric.
If you’d like to make something a little smaller, Show Your Workings has a great tutorial on sewing your own Japanese-style reversible or “fortune cookie” purse – so cute!

I am having a difficult time assembling the pattern pieces to make any kind of sense. Was wondering if pieces are missing? I have 21 pages in the .pdf file. Appreciate any comments or assistance!
