Love the pattern and the fabric that came in the kit is gorgeous!!! The print on the fabric reminds me of a topographic map (I’m a map lover).

This is a great pattern, the fabric is GORGEOUS, and the instructions were very easy to follow from beginning to end. This bag is the perfect size, shape and style for me to carry my new Microsoft Surface Pro laptop. I’m already anxious for next month!!!!

This bag and fabric has blown me away! The color is soothing and the bag was basically a re-cap of skills learned in the first bag.
Love it
