Easy to follow and the bag turned out beautifully. I do think the strap instruction are confusing, you have to follow instructions from another youtube video by sally tomato and I ended up having to cut more than 10 inches from my strap wasting materials
Thank you so much for the honest feedback—we're thrilled your bag turned out beautifully-it looks fantastic, and it's great to hear the pattern itself was easy to follow! That said, we completely understand how frustrating it can be to feel unsure about a step in the pattern and end up losing materials.
Your note about the strap instructions and reliance on a separate YouTube video is really helpful—we always want the process to feel seamless and clear. We’ll definitely share this with the team for future improvements. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience—it helps us grow and support makers even better!

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!
