This pattern is well written and easy to follow. I have made one and am excited to make more as gifts! On this one I altered the pattern by lengthening the bottom pieces by about one inch and boxed the bottom corners. Also, it was my first time using cork fabric which was perfect for this pattern.

Like the looks of the bag but hate that I have to measure all the pattern pieces out. I purchased a pattern but I have to enlarge and measure out myself not a fan. Instructions seem well written and easy to follow.
Hello Brenna-we appreciate your review and purchase. This pattern involves just rectangles so we have found that our sewists prefer how fast and accurate that it can be cut out with a rotary cutter. We do have it listed on each pattern if its measure and cut, and /or some pattern pieces. Please contact us if you have any questions on our patterns. I hope you enjoy making one of our most popular patterns. We are here to help.

This is an easy pattern to sew. If I make it again, I will add 2 inches to the width, and an inch to the length and ad boxed corners. overall, this is a great pattern for my 16 year old granddaughter to make.
