Ryan ★★★★★

The step-by-step instructions made the tricky pocket construction surprisingly clear, and the full-size pattern pieces saved me from having to tape a bunch of sheets together. Finished the 12-inch bag in one weekend, and the dimensions are perfect for a tablet and a notebook.

Alexander N. ★★★★★

I’ve been sewing bags for a while, and this pattern’s instructions for the interior pockets are the clearest I’ve followed. The finished 12 x 10 x 3 inch size is perfect for my daily essentials without being bulky. Really happy with how it turned out.

Joseph A. ★★★★★

The full-size patterns saved me so much tracing time, and the finished 12x10x3 size is perfect for daily use. I’ve already sewn two bags from this set, and the pocket placements are really well thought out.
