Pattern Description:
A roomy bag great for overnight and hauling stuff for kids activities.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

It sure did

Were the instructions easy to follow?

The book requires one to flip around to find each skill/portion. The instructions are pretty clear as long as to pay attention to what you are trying to accomplish.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I liked being able to customize the bag to suit my needs.

Fabric Used:

Home dec cotton-exterior
fusible feece interfusing for lining
quilting cotton for lining
mid weight fusible interfacing for exterior

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

Added some beading to exterior, changed the interior pockets in size.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

It had a lot of pieces, but the final product was worth the organinzing and sewing effort. I would make this again most likely as a gift.

Conclusion:

I love the book and will refer to it often for bag making. This is only the thrid bag I have made and it helped me make sense of construction techniques and materials.
