Features

Awesome little bag

Watching the video before starting the process was very helpful. Loved all the pockets and features included. Good job with instructions, including the pictures of all the cutout pieces and where they went in the finished bag.

Roadie Mini Tote

I am still working on this, things keep pulling me away. I watched the video before starting. Great help, I am a visual learner. Watching video also helps clarify written instructions as I use these while sewing. I am especially impressed with the picture showing each pattern piece and where it is located on completed tote. Referencing each piece by letter as well as name is very helpful. Love this pattern, can't wait til it's finished. This is going to be mine!!

Cute Bag

I am still working on this bag. I'm a beginner so I get frustrated with zippers. I keep taking breaks so it is taking me awhile to get it done. I have finished the front of the bag so hopefully the rest goes easier for me.

Mini Tote

Great pattern - good pictures showing how to put together. Made out of vinyl and getting through some of the seams was difficult. I'll need to rethink this next time. Thanks!

Cute bag!!!

I love this pattern, but…

I may have chosen the wrong fabric. My water-proof canvas might be too dense. My machine, which has sewn many bags, would not make stitches through the side seams. I will try again with quilters cotton.

Amazing Bag

I love this bag. It has lots of pockets in a compact size. I made it to carry my Bible Study supplies. My mom loved the bag and asked for one for her to use as her everyday bag. It has lots of uses.

The Roadie Mini

I love the Roadie Mini, I think you can use that bag for many different things. The next time I make one it will be a mini diaper bag!! The pattern was easy to follow. I highly recommend.

Roadie bag

I do love all the little pockets and it seems like it would be easy enough simple enough to follow. I have not had the opportunity yet to make one but I plan on doing so within the next couple of weeks I've been working with another bag makers patterns and they are very detailed as well. One thing I really like is having a place to attach my keys on the inside of the bag so that I don't lose them on the inside

Great pattern!

This pattern is a great, fun, easy make! So many options for pockets and materials. You can make this as easy or complicated as you'd like. I do appreciate the outside pockets as this is a pet peeve for me when there aren't any. I hack a lot of patterns but this little gem didn't need anything. I love it! I would definitely recommend for beginner and up.

The pattern is wonderfully written. I love the straight forward format, with the cut list and check list. Clear photos, I am looking forward to making this pattern.
