Pattern Description: Over the shoulder roomy hand bag

Pattern Sizing: N/A

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

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes although missing bits and pieces

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I would have thought that for the money that I had paid for this pattern that it at least would have been tested and proofread. There were instructions missing or wrong and there was a wrong diagram. When I emailed the pattern designer to check that I was sewing it together the right way (since the instructions were wrong) and received no answer, this is voted as poor customer service in my books.

Although I do like the finished bag and will probably make one again in the future.

I have also made the other version of this bag which was a very roomy bag.

Fabric Used: Quilters cotton

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None

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

Conclusion:
