The Completed Bionic Gear Bag EDIT: Link to the second bag I made almost seven years later Well I finally finished my Bionic Gear Bag . What can I say? I laughed, I cried... This pattern makes a very cute bag and overall I am happy with it. On the other hand I did run into some hiccups and perhaps my timing could have been better with purchasing this pattern. The Bionic Gear Bag was designed by Sally AKA Ripstitcher . She had purchased a similar pattern from Craftsy , made it, reviewed it on her blog, designed her own version that met her needs better, and put it up for sale on Craftsy.
