The Clover is a medium sized bag and as the name implies, it can convert from a backpack to a cross body bag. It has 2 exterior zippered pockets on the front of the bag. The interior has 1 zippered pocket and 2 slip pockets. The bottom of the bag is a train case compartment that unzips almost completely for easy access. The flap has a thumb lock (or tongue lock or tuck lock) closure with a handle at the top for carrying. The adjustable strap converts so the bag can be carried backpack style or as a cross body bag.
Please note that the train case portion requires a binding finish. I would also recommend using fabric for the train case if you're looking for an easier sew.
