Pattern Description: Large tote with removable compartment
Pattern Sizing: One size
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? Somewhat, it seems that all patterns that I've used so far could be better written.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the removable caddy and I like the size. I dislike that it took so long to make, I was expecting it to be easier but I was up for the challenge.
Fabric Used: Outside-thick canvas-like cotton print from Ikea, Lining-quilting solid from JoAnn.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't sew the bias tape on the front pocket because I didn't like how it looked. I didn't sew the velcro in because I didn't think it was necessary.
Would you sew it again? Yes Would you recommend it to others? Yes
Conclusion: Overall, I liked how it turned out. It was more difficult to make than I expected but that won't stop me from making it again.

That is so cute! You did a great job. Too bad about the instructions. But now you can crank them out if you want. I just love the fabric.
