Very easy to find and order on your website. Quick shipping and customer service. Pattern is well written, and the hardware and zippers are very good quality.
Hi Nancy,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that the Jenny pattern was easy to find and order—and that our shipping and customer service met your expectations. It’s great to know the pattern instructions, hardware, and zippers all lived up to the quality you deserve.
If you ever feel like showing off your finished Jenny bag, we’d love to see it in the Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Group on Facebook. It’s a wonderful space to share your creativity and connect with fellow makers.
Thanks again for sewing with us!
This is my first Sallie Tomato bag pattern. The bag comes together relatively quickly. The video is helpful to fill in a minor gaps in the instructions. I am making a second bag and I have adjusted the pattern to have 1" less length on the zipper and top gusset and have added that 1" to the bottom gusset because my foam is 20" wide and the pattern calls for 21" of foam. In my mind it make more sense to be able to cut the foam WOF.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the Sallie Tomato pattern—we love that you dove right in and made it your own! It's fantastic to hear the bag came together quickly and that the video helped fill in any small gaps. Your thoughtful modification to accommodate the foam width is such a smart solution, and we admire your resourcefulness in adjusting the gussets.
We’re thrilled you’re already making a second bag—it’s so rewarding to see your ideas take shape! If you feel like sharing your great photos of your beautiful bag and tips from your version, we know it would inspire others in our maker community-please post to the Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Group on Facebook. Happy Sewing!
I’ve been eyeing this pattern ever since I saw it on MSQC. The pattern was well designed; pieces fit together easily. The videos were especially helpful. It was perfect size for my vacation walkabouts.
Thank you so much for the glowing feedback! We're thrilled to hear you purchased the pattern and the ease of assembly and great video support make such a difference in the sewing experience. ✨
We're especially glad it turned out to be the perfect size for your vacation walkabouts—that’s exactly the kind of real-world usefulness we aim for in every design. Whether it's style, function, or travel-readiness, it sounds like this one ticked all the boxes! It turned out beautiful -we love that travel fabric that you chose--and we would love to have you share it in our Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware group on Facebook.
Thanks again for sharing your experience. Happy sewing.
This size holds enough but is not so big it looks overwhelming. My fabric was not cork so it did not iron smooth. It's okay when I use it, it will puff out some the wrinkles. Love the webbing that is Sallie tomato. Fabric is some I was given to me by a friend. It was used for covering stools. I think it is great for a bag too.
We are delighted to hear this-we think it turned out so beautiful. It looks to have a beautiful patina to it. I hope that you love using the bag. We appreciate your review. If not a member-you may want to join our Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Group on Facebook for more inspiration and to show off your makes. Happy Sewing!
