We love the mustard print fabric of this wonderfully warm Button Lock Bag, made by Tess. Tess matched the mustard to waxed brown canvas, and used a contrast thread for top stitching! We think it's delightful!

Aren't Vanessa's fabric choices pretty? And the outer fabrics are shower proof too, making this sweet Button Lock bag perfect for any weather!
