Arlo for the win! Such a smart design with easy to orchestrate instructions. Goes together in a snap, and works well with many substrates.
The handles on this bag really make this something special. I haven't made this one yet, but it is high on my list of things to do and I can't wait to use it!
I love buying a PDF pattern as well as a paper pattern. I can open the pdf pattern on my iPad and take notes while sewing the bag.
Love the size and shape of this bag! Trendy handles perfect for a day trip or out to coffee with the girls! Tough part will be deciding which surprise vinyl to use!
I love Natalie's patterns and the Arlo bag is yet another that I'm going to enjoy making. The suprise vinyl will be put to good use.
I love the look and style of the bag!
I can't wait to use my surprise vinyl for this cute bag! The round handle is so unique. It's going to go to Mazatlán with me in 2025!
This is such a wonderful bag! Plenty of room for essentials, and the handle is very unique, and gives it even more class and character. Natalie’s patterns are clear, and written with beginners and beyond in mind, but gives you plenty of leeway to make it your own. She encourages you to think outside the box, and a mistake is not the end of the world. Instead, it’s a teachable moment to help you grow!
