jemgirlca said... Nice bag and good review. Thanks for the picture of you holding the bag, that really helps to see the size of it. 6/25/05 9:36 PM
bunz said... Psychic vibes! I was just looking at an ad for this bag and thinking how great it would be for traveling as well as for my sister, the knitter. Thanks for the review! 6/25/05 9:43 PM
Patti B said... I cut the bag out yesterday afternoon and worked on it steadily afternoon & evening, worked on it this morning and finished it this afternoon. So it's not a quick sew but it does go together nicely. Once I started, I kept wanting to do just one more step. Oh, sorry I'm not smiling in the photo -- can't fiddle with the camera and smile at this same time apparently. ;-) 6/25/05 9:49 PM
Lori V said... Patti, very cute bag and the fabric choices are wonderful. That is a very interesting concept, thanks for pointing out this bag. 6/25/05 9:52 PM

Princess Jenny said... So awesome! :)
Thank you so much for reviewing this bag. It is perfect for shopping. 6/26/05 9:44 AM
Diane E said... Patti, terrific review and wonderful bag. As a knitter, I can say that this sure beats the assortment of shredded shopping bags I haul my projects around in. A bag like yours would do justice to the most lovely of yarns. 6/26/05 10:03 AM
Danvillegirl said... Great purse. I have not seen this. You did a great job. Love the whole look. 6/26/05 4:00 PM
GraceHope said... I love bags and this one looks very versatile! I think I may go and get the "uneven binding foot" for my machine before attempting this one. Thanks so much! 6/26/05 4:49 PM
GorgeousFabrics said... Patti, that is a great bag, and an excellent review! my sister knits, and is always on the hunt for a new knitting bag. I'll have to let her know about this! -Ann 6/27/05 8:20 AM
Patti B said... Thanks sewists -- I love this bag already! Diane E -- your knitting 'deserves' a pretty bag ... what DID we do before plastic grocery bags? 6/27/05 8:51 AM
W said... Very nice work -- I love how it turns out. I think her bags are so adorable...I am not planning to make this one, but I wanted to know how her patterns are. Thanks for the detailed review & all the photos. 7/31/05 3:24 PM
Annie- oh said... Patt - I made this bag a few weeks ago, and I agree with you - it is a great bag and fun to sew. I also used it as my purse when travelling by air recently because I realized all my clothes were darks/neutrals, and this bag was a colorful tropical print. I made it for a knitting bag, but I think I'll need more than one - its inside zipper to shorten/lengthen it is great. And great details in your review! Annie 8/17/05 8:49 PM
Lesley said... Patti, I haven't made the bag yet, but have sent for the pattern and the frames. I'm not really much of a seamstress but am trying. Anyhow if I left out the zipper part and made the bag without the extention, would that make the the pattern easier and more straight forward for a beginner. I would like it for a knitting bag and the pattern without the zipper is just like a bag they are selling at my local yarn shop. Thanks, Lesley 1/8/07 8:59 PM
shard said... i have to say, this review makes me feel a liiiiittle better about the process. i'm working on it now. some parts of the construction are *definitely* counterintuitive. i'm not using fleece - hoping that the thickness will be less of an issue, as i'm using a lighter fashion fabric, and underlining with canvas. 9/29/07 3:11 PM
