this is the cutest!! great pattern and tutorial....thank you!
Hello- I made a bag this weekend, based on your tutorial. I really like it. I am impressed with the ease and style of the bag. The pattern was easy for me to follow, although I am not yet too accomplished at sewing. My only complaint is that the handles seemed a bit wimpy for such a bag. I redid mine with fusible fleece inside the double fold bias. It makes the handles seem to go better with the bag. Thanks for the tutorial. I am going to try your Jenny bag too.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I made this bag two times today and I`m in love with them.
Dankeschön!!!
Amy Butler fabrics! I bought the same one to make a bag as well.
Awesome tutorial btw!
Great tutorial. Thanks. I will have to make this purse.
thanks for stopping by my blog. Love your tutorials. I like to sew too so I will definitely be bookmarking this site and checking back again soon. Good luck in my drawing.
Thanks for the great pattern! I made a super-sized Angel today and love it. I'm already scheming to make another one :)
Thank you so much for this wonderful pattern and tutorial. I just made this as a gift for my daughter's teacher, and I love how it turned out.
Here's my blog with a picture of it:

Very cute bag - love your fabric choices.
Thank you for this pattern! I made a Littlest Pet Shop purse for my daughter. She picked out this pattern, and her own fabric. Instead of using fusible fleece, I used jean material because the material I had was very hard to work with and stretchy. I fused the jean material with iron on adhesive. The only thing difficult was the very last part, sewing it up. It was difficult because of the material that I had. If I'd used different material, I think it would be pretty easy. Here's a link to my blog that has the picture of it. It turned out really cute!
