Included with this purchase is the pattern cover and the pattern instructions. Each of our patterns are complete with step-by-step illustrations to help make the written directions easier to understand. Included are many sewing techniques and tips to help you achieve a quality, finished project. Each pattern is designed to help you learn and expand your sewing skills!

Most patterns are measured and cut, which means that the pieces will need to be cut with a rotary cutter, ruler, and cutting mat. Some patterns may include templates for shaping and/or cutting out the pieces.

Trace or photocopy the pattern piece(s) onto a separate sheet of paper. If printing or copying template(s), print at 100% or actual size. Measure the test square provided in the pattern to ensure the pieces are the correct size. Tape corresponding pieces together before cutting fabric, aligning red lines, shapes, and outer edges. It’s also helpful to write the name and cutting instructions on each pattern piece. Cut out pattern pieces along solid black lines, unless otherwise stated.

Please review the back of the pattern cover for recommended fabrics. Shop our selection of Cork Fabric, Faux Leather, Microsuede, and Faux Fur for a designer finish. We also offer quality Interfacing and Stabilizers, to add structure and stability to your projects! Some patterns can also take our Mesh or Cotton & Canvas that we offer

Hi there,

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m amazed—you made five Bennys for Mother’s Day friends, and it sounds like every single one found the perfect use. I love hearing how versatile this pattern is: from kids’ toys to gym gear to wet swimsuits and towels.

And being asked to make more for beach days this year… that’s the best compliment. It’s also great to know they turned out beautifully even when made from fat quarters. We hope you will share your versions in our Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Group on Facebook.

I’m so glad you found the pattern fun and easy. Thank you for sharing all the creative ways it’s being enjoyed!

Love the bag.

Great pattern!

I made the Benny bag to carry toys to/from the beach. What a great pattern! I had extra mesh fabric left so made 3 simple drawstring bags with crossbody strap for the grandchildren to use for shell collecting. Fun times!

Hi Cary,

Thank you so much for your review! I love hearing how you used the Benny bag—what a perfect idea for carrying toys to and from the beach. And those extra mesh drawstring bags with crossbody straps for your grandchildren sound absolutely adorable. What a fun, practical way to use your leftover materials. It’s wonderful to hear the pattern added to your family’s beach adventures. It brings back memories of our shelling days on Sanibel Island when Jess and Jake were small.

We appreciate you sharing your experience and creativity with us! Happy sewing!
