First time to make this style of a bag. I love that it has 3 sizes. I opted to make the large. The written directions were easy to follow. It really helped to watch the ST video first since I’m a visual learner.
I am very happy with the way it turned out. I’ve been asked by several people where I got my bag. When I revealed that I had made it, I was asked to make one for them. I’m already on my 6th bag. It has become my most requested bag.
It’s been fun to make each one unique by using different fabric patterns, accents and zipper pulls.
Thank you for the wonderful review of the Ferris. It is one of our most popular bag patterns. You may also like the Fifth Avenue. We are happy to hear that you found it easy to follow. Your bag turned out great. We love hearing that same thing that people cannot believe that the bag is handmade-and then they want one! 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!
I’m really liking this pattern. It’s an easy one but if you get hung u on a procedure, there is a nice, helpful YouTube to watch. I’m on my third Ferris Bag this week!
Wow-you are on a roll! These are beautiful and thank you for posting in our Facebook group. Glad that you found the pattern easy to follow.
Instructions are clear and there are sew along videos online. Cute little bag

This pattern and the video instruction were easy to follow and resulted in a beautiful product. Love the 3 size options included and the pattern is fairly forgiving for people who are curved-piecing challenged 😀. Once you are familiar with the pattern, it's easy to customize with quilt blocks on the pockets, too! Great pattern, would highly recommend.
Your Ferris bag is sew cool!! We love how you added the quilt block into the bag and also along the zipper. Very talented. We hope to see what you are working on next.

Personally, I thought 95% of the instructions were clear. In my next one, I won't be putting fusible fleece on the strap connectors as they were WAY too thick to sew even with a heavy duty needle. The only part that was confusing was adding the front extensions (yes, even with the video), and I had to unpick both sides to get it right. Other than that, the pattern has nice clean finishes and great opportunities for customization.
Thank you for taking the time to review Carlee, your bag turned out fantastic. We would love to see what you are creating on our SallieTomato Patterns and Hardware Group on Facebook. Happy Holidays

It wasn’t until 2016 that I released my first pattern, the Puppy Pillow. Now, my passion is to design quality sewing patterns, so you can create too!

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!
