I bought the pattern and materials sometime last spring during a Textile Fabrics sale but never got around to actually sewing it. This is my first Amy Butler pattern--maybe I'll do more in the future. The directions were easy--they are almost overexplained, which is OK.
Before sewing I googled the pattern and found that there was errata and I saw what modifications other sew-ers have done, such as adding a magnetic snap, which I did. PatternReview.com is so handy. I highly recommend it.
The mega interfacing called for makes this bag very sturdy, more sturdy than bags I've sewn in the past. Maybe my sewing skills have improved; this purse seemed fairly easy to make. It was still time-consuming. But fun!
For the main section I used "garden maze" pattern fabric, also by Amy Butler. I really love her fabric patterns.
The finished product! This bag holds a lot!
