This was a fun pattern to make, it took a little patience a few seam rips but watching the video throughout the process of making it definitely helped. I love the end result.
Hi Retta,
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed making the Bette bag and that our video tutorial helped guide you through the process. Sometimes a little patience and a few seam rips are all part of the creative journey, and it's so rewarding when everything comes together in the end. We're thrilled that you love the finished bag and that it will be joining you on your travels! We love all the photos and fabrics and hardware that you used. It is just lovely.
Happy sewing,

Instructions and video together made it much easier for assembling this adorable cosmetic bag.
Hi Janice,
We’re so glad the Bette pattern worked well for you! The step‑by‑step instructions paired with the video are designed to make assembly feel clear and approachable, and it’s wonderful to hear they helped you create such a cute cosmetic bag. If you snap a photo of your finished project, we’d be delighted to see it in the Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Facebook Group. Happy Sewing!
I used the Bette pattern to make my son a new lunch box. He love pizza and eats it for lunch every day (he is an adult with disabilities). He loves his new lunch box and my post on social media got lots of positive feedback. The video was really helpful in the construction steps. I used an insulated lining plus batting to give it shape. I also used a Sallie Tomato zipper and unicorn zipper pulls to make it super special for him.
We absolutely love the photos of your completed Bette lunch bag—what a creative and thoughtful adaptation! It’s clear how much love went into every stitch, and it’s so heartwarming to see how much joy it brings your son. Thank you for sharing your project and inspiring others with your story and craftsmanship.
I love this bag. I made a few for Christmas gifts last year and have more requests this year. This bag holds a lot of cosmetics, etc.
Your bag is just lovely. Thank you for sharing. They also make great mini lunchboxes or mini coolers using the insulating batting we sell. Let us know if we can be of assistance. We hope everyone loves there gifts. 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. It is a very helpful group. Happy Sewing.
I'm not a hugely experienced bag maker, mostly sticking to drawstrings until now! But this pattern looked like the perfect bag for my eSpinner. I did have to change the measurements, so working out the sizes for the pattern pieces was in itself a challenge, but the instructions were detailed and clear. The only issues I had came from adding an extra layer of batting so my eSpinner is super safe, and where I changed the measurements. Despite that I think I have a pretty successful bag, not perfectly neat, but given my relative inexperience and alterations it's really pretty good! Any issues were absolutely created by me, not the pattern which was excellent.
I bought the paper pattern locally with the fabric.
Wonderful result with all of your hard work to make this successful. We appreciate seeing the finsihed product too. Thank you for the review. We also have a great Facebook group-Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware group to join to show off your makes and more inspiration. Happy Sewing!
