YES! Buy it! Don’t hesitate or even think about it. I read it once I downloaded it, and now I keep it out on my sewing table. It’s a great resource that I constantly refer to. I have learned so much from this book and it has taken my bag making to a new level and made sewing even more enjoyable and taken away the frustration of not knowing what to do.
The pattern written instructions are very easy to follow. My only suggestion for the patterns would be a you tube video link for those of us who purchase your patterns.
I will continue to buy from Amanda, she provides excellent customer service, with very prompt responses to inquiries. I am a very happy customer!
Great pattern, very well explained and detailed pictures
My little bag turned out pretty cute
The pattern was great and I enjoyed sewing it. The only thing I would suggest for new sewists is to mention the stitch length that would be best for each part of the process.
Looks a great pattern easy to understand, spacious tote
Very well written and comprehensive pattern bundle. Thank you. I look forward to creating this pattern with my favorite fabric charm packs!
This and all Amanda’s patterns are absolutely amazing. I had not sewn for years and during the hit southern summer I decided to try my hand at my first tote was the “Kathy” tote. All my family wants one. Second was the Joanna tote, my most recent purchase. Absolutely adorable and family wants this one too. So thank you for the easy to follow directions that as a bonus includes photos. I will be purchasing more.
The pattern is written so clearly, just like Mandy was here with me! I love the details she tells you about that you can add if you want, like magnetic snaps and rivets for added security on the pockets and it’s so easy to customize pockets etc… this was my very first purse project and it wasn’t the least bit complicated or stressful, so proud of how well it turned out
Pattern is clearly written, easy to follow instructions, I used the sizes in this pattern and applied to the Joanna pattern
I love it! It is made perfectly in every way! I couldn't be happier. Thank you for deciding to sell your work
this pattern was very well written and easy to follow. Since purchasing last week I have made 4 Joanne tote bags!
This was a fun and quick little project. I even found unique fabric for the stripes: the white has the words to The Star Spangled Banner printed on it (also in white so only faintly visible) and the red has pinwheels on it!
It solved my baggy linings and explained the different interfacings. Love it!
The pattern is great! Simple clear and concise. I loved using it!
Excellent pattern
