Anxious to make the pouch
I just want to give a shout out to Be Mandy Things! First of all her patterns are beautiful and have very explicit step by step instructions on how to complete these beautiful designs. I had an issue that my email was not accepting the links for the patterns that I had purchased, and she personally reached out to me and patiently worked with me until everything was straightened out and I was able to receive the links for the patterns. I can't wait to start creating these beautiful items, and I know Be Mandy Things will be there if I have questions along the way. Looking forward to a long relationship with this company-thank you Be Mandy Things!
