The bag is amazing! Instead of two zipper pockets, I did one slip pocket and one zipper pocket on the inside. I've done the bag at 100% tote, and 83% tote. I have not done the other one yet. The pattern was really really great, but the instructions are not so great. If there was not such a wonderful video online from Sallie Tomato, I would not have been able to get through. But the video is amazing and I was able to finish several bags.
Thank you so much, September!
We’re thrilled to hear how much you love the Charade pattern—and wow, you’ve been busy! Your pocket customization sounds fantastic, and making the bag at both 100% and 83% is such a clever way to explore different sizes. We’re so glad the video tutorial helped guide you through the steps. Your feedback about the written instructions is truly appreciated and helps us continue improving.
The embroidery on the last photo is fantastic!
We love all the beautiful versions you’ve made!
If you’d like to share photos, we’d love to see them in the Sallie Tomato Patterns & Hardware group on Facebook. Happy sewing!
The pattern was easy to follow and turned out perfectly! My first time to work with cork, no problems at all.
Thank you so much, Clara! We’re thrilled to hear the Charade pattern was easy to follow and that your project turned out perfectly.
