lcavagnolo said... I've owned this pattern for about 2 years now, and still am afraid to sew it! Yours looks fantastic, and I think you have the first review to suggest sliding the Timtex in after sewing, which makes so much more sense. Great job! 5/15/08 1:25 PM
Lori V said... This is such a wonderful bag, I have made this one and did not use Timtex. Easier to sew but my dd's bag is not very stiff. 5/15/08 1:27 PM
MelissaB in WA said... Beautiful bag! My bag made me almost cry too while making it, but I love it now that it's done (well except for the crappy zipper I got - note to self, definitely splurge for the zipper on this one). Enjoy your bag! 5/15/08 2:38 PM
Sigrid. said... This pattern is in my stash. And everytime I see it made up so beautiful like yours is too, I want to make it. But still keeping it till later because of the difficulties everyone describes. The combination of fabric and piping is very special, I like that. 5/15/08 4:04 PM

That is absolutely and completely beautiful. It looks perfect, and I love the fabrics you used. 5/16/08 6:58 AM
Ronda Rae said... Beautiful! I agree with your review, too. I am one who has made this bag. I wondered about sliding the timtex inbetween but couldn't come up with a way to do it. I am working on my second bag with some changes to the pattern. It's slow going though. I got to the sewing with the timetex and got scared! 5/16/08 7:08 AM
