Instructions were easy to follow, bag turned out wonderfully. I struggled a bit with the gusset, but I've only made a couple of bags with gusset, so no doubt a "beginner's" issue on my end :)
Thank you so much for your review! We’re delighted to hear your Circle Bag turned out wonderfully and that the instructions were easy to follow. Gussets can definitely feel a bit tricky when you’re still getting comfortable with them, so it sounds like you did a great job pushing through that learning curve.
If you ever want to share your finished bag or connect with other makers, we’d love to welcome you into our Sallie Tomato Patterns & Hardware Facebook group.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience!
Such a cute little bag! Just big enough for everything I need on a daily basis.

Great pattern! Easy to make. Can fancy it up with nice accents. I added the extra flap at the front, was easy to do.

The name of my shop developed around my middle name, Sallie. Also, the tomato pin cushion is a well-recognized symbol of sewing. Thank you for visiting my website!
