Love the patterns, they are well written and accurate!
Within a day after leaving a review "Never received so cannot give it a good review. I sure would like to get it." Amanda from bemandythings.com contacted me and then sent me the missing items. Fantastic service. Thank you, thank you. A site like yours is so much appreciated and I'm sure to be dealing with you again.
Mandy's patterns are very clearly written.
Love this pattern- so straight forward I’ve already made five! Using as gifts to those hosting us; house warming; and “just because”. Definitely the most straight forward construction instructions I’ve ever followed!
Very helpful - great information
I made the large Heartfelt pouch as a present and it turned out very well. I have only ever made simple patchwork squares before so this was quite a challenge but I followed each step carefully and it was easier than I thought it would be. I made a tissue holder to match. I think the recipient was happy!
I love all 3 bag styles.
Beautiful pattern with excellent instructions for a fairly new sewer
Such a simple pattern for a cute little pouch. Instructions were comprehensive and though I’ve made a few pouches previously some of the finer points explained and made the finished pouch look so much better. Zips, the bane of my life, are really not so hard I’ve found.
This was very helpful for me.
Wonderful pouch with clear instructions and lots of amazing tips. After the holiday crazies, I am taking it slow on this one to concentrate on all the suggestions instead of typically rushing thru some projects. The visuals are terrific also especially for us “visual learners”
Looking forward to enjoying each step of the process.

Easy to follow and takes the scary out of zippers.
Pattern is very easy to follow and the results are a stunning tote bag
