Gambia school bags

there was a notice in our church saying a local lady was going to Gambia and wished to take some very lightweight school bags with her for the children there. so i used the pattern here to create a couple of bags. they use very lightweight materials, but are lined and seem strong enough to carry several large books/folders with no difficulty - yet fold to practically nothing!

i really hope these can be sucessfully used by the children in Gambia, and im hoping to create another couple before sunday :)
