Good pattern, helpful video tutorial

Great beginner friendly pattern. I bought the pattern a few years ago and have made several of these bags since then. It comes together fairly quick and is simple yet so pretty! Attaching the strap connectors can be tricky if you aren’t planning on using double sided tape, but that’s the only drawback. There’s a tutorial on her YouTube channel that was super helpful the first couple times I made it. Overall it’s a great pattern and the price is super reasonable. Highly recommend.

Wow! What an easy bag!

The directions were easy to follow but, the videos are fun to watch. As of today I have made this bad twice. First time I shrunk (80%) the pattern to fit the Cosplay fabric I had. Amazing! The second time, I made the full size pattern with some extra pockets and some Dr. Who Fabric I had been sitting on for 2 years. Thanks so much for these patters. I still have a few more to try out. Keep making patterns.

Wonderful beginners pattern

I have only started sewing last year & rarely. With the video and this pattern I was able to sew my first bag and it was awesome and dare I say easy. Her video has lots of tips for new bag makers so pay attention. Thanks Lauren! This is only the beginning! ;) I may become a bag lady yet!

Quick and pretty sew

This bag is sew beginner-friendly! It comes together quickly and can be customized in so many different ways I absolutely love the way the lining and the bottom come together! So happy!
