Smart bags with a lot of pieces.
I have made 2 of these bags, C and E which are similar and they turned out well. They are tricky enough and quite complicated as there are about 40 pieces per bag, so there is a lot of cutting out. Part of the reason I made the second bag was that there was so much material left over. Fabric and pattern would have made it a £50 bag so that was another reason to make another. I think there is a little mistake in the cutting layout of bag C ie what the layout says v what the pattern piece says, I think the pattern piece is right, but it's not a big issue, it just adds to working it all out. I was unable locally to get the plastic canvas so I just used stiff cardboard which worked fine.
Bottom line is that I would recommend the pattern but it is quite complicated and I think would need a certain amount of experience.

Love this bag pattern! Perfect to make a spring/summer bag!
Just bought this pattern at the right time as I'm in the vulnerable category with the coronavirus. I'm going to get out all my left over scraps of material and get cracking! Can also use it to make presents for friends and family

Happy sewing!
Good price, quite an easy pattern to follow so would be suitable for beginners. Wish my store had a better selection of the required fabrics to make the items though.

Fabulous bag
I had to read the instructions several times to work out what to do but what a fabulous bag as a result. Very much admired and I will make more.

Great features
An easy pattern, I had contrast fabric left over from another project and managed to make a lovely bag. Instructions and pictures were clear.
