I ordered the mini pattern today. I'm sure this tute will clear up any confusion I may have. Sounds like everybody has trouble with their first one but from there, they seem to be easy. I'll see.............

I got my pattern through Amazon where the price was $10 & free shpg.
I had seen them on another site before Amazon & the price was $9 plus $4.99 shpg. I don't get that price for just a paper pattern.

I bought the pattern from a LQS and I really did not mind the money I paid for it until I started making it. Cutting it out was a breeze, but I like many are still stuck with the first step (pocket) when sewing it. I think for the money it costs, it could have included better instructions. I have been sewing for 45 yrs and never had this much trouble understanding the instructions for something I made. Very poor instructions... in my opinion.

This is a great idea. I will try this before the fabric trial. I am sure this tute will help; the instructions on the pattern are not that clearly written, and this tute helps.

I have had this pattern for several weeks, but I thought the directions were very confusing. Even though I've made 6 other types of purses/bags/totes, this one was a puzzle to me. I used your tutorial and finished my first bow tucks today. I kept checking your directions against the pattern. That really helped and I completed the purse. Wow, I love it. Thanks so much for the tutorial!
