Carpet Bag Pattern

Hi there!

I was wondering if anyone had a resource for a good carpet bag pattern ala "Mary Poppins" I've done a little looking online so far and haven't found anything interesting.

Attached is a picture of what i'm looking for....

Thanks!!

It depends upon whether you are able to find a metal closing/opening frame (for lack of the proper term) for the bag. Failing that you could make large rectangular bag, with a rectangle base and put a heavy zip across the whole length of the opening. I will put up drawings of suggestion later in the week (busy until thurs.) But I believe that it is actually a very simple pattern for the main bag itself.

I always thought http://www.loeshinsedesign.com/categories/accessories/butterfly.html that pattern from Loes Hines looked rather carpet bag - like.
