Pattern Description:
This pattern is for three different styles of bags. I made the backpack. (View A)
Pattern Sizing:
One size
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, absolutely!
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Mostly. The instructions do not tell you to cut a piece for the lining front, and this is needed. I had trouble with the lining.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I loved the easy way the zippers were installed!
I had a lot of trouble with the lining.

Fabric Used:
Cottons- some lightweight, some heavier
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I cut a piece of vinyl for the middle of the bottom gusset, so that the bag would not get soiled when it was set down. I used straps and webbing from an old backpack that was no longer in use.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I would. It's an adorable bag that was easy to personalize, and my daughter loves it!
Conclusion:
Very nice little bag, very usable! Wonderful zipper installation technique!
