Such a great Sew!

The Moon River is such a great sew! The functionality of the little purse is top notch! It’s easy to use whatever fabrics your machine can handle and the pattern lends itself easily to fit your needs for additional details not included but cheered for when you can make it happen for yourself. It’s a great sew for up-cycling fabrics too.

Adorable!

I haven’t made it yet but I love Kathy’s patterns. I’m sure this is just as beautiful and well worth the purchase. I just finished an As You Wish purse and it’s the perfect size for an everyday bag.
