Amazing…this pattern was so easy and fine to make… def a must have!!!
Going to make for Christmas gifts
Pattern was very clearly written with lots of photographs!
I can't wait to start making the Easy Charm Tote. My machine is currently in the shop getting a tune up. This will be my first tote and after reading the entire pattern I know it will be a success!
I have not started this project yet. But I looked through the pattern and I can see many important tips to make this pouch.
Pattern was very easy to follow! I made about 11 of the baskets
Very helpful reference book! I have been making bags for years and found some good tips in this book. I will be more intentional when using interfacing. I highly recommend this for any bagmaker, new or experienced.
Cute bag! I'm learning zippers so this will be double challenging for me.
Excellent pattern with easy to follow instructions. I would definitely buy from this seller again.
Brilliant pattern, loads of photos and clear instructions. I have other patterns which are just as great from the series- give them a go, you won’t be disappointed
Turned out so cute!
Brilliantly easy pattern to follow suitable for all sewists. I had problems downloading the patterns but I asked for them to be sent a differentfile type and hey presto very very quickly I got the patterns through. I’ll be sticking to the patterns here and Debbie Shores- can’t fail.
Replied to my issue very quickly which I very much appreciated. Items were as described. Honest and upfront about things I was purchasing.. I feel this is a great small business.
I’m not a beginner bag maker, but by no means an expert either and I found this book to be a great resource. Lots of useful tips and I love that Mandy has included sources for different things in bag making. A well put together source of information and will be a go to for me. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into this!
Look wonderful
Cute pattern. anxious to start!
The wine bottle tote turned out great. My customer loved it. I make 6 for him.
Directions are very easy to follow
Super cute and easy to make
