I have watched many of your you tubes so when made middle size felt we were doing it together...looking forward to making purse size using tapestry fabric i have....I do wish you had a canada site to order cork etc from....keep up you tubes....you never make us feel we don't know what we are doing...have a great 2026...
Was so excited to purchase this bag pattern! Can’t wait to make it and share my finish!
What a beautiful bag. I’ve only had time to cut out the cork but have gone through the tutorial, which like all the SHH YouTube videos I’ve watched (and that’s a lot!!) it really helped to understand the different steps.. can’t wait to get time to finish it! Thank you Natalie and the team.
I was looking for a certain pattern and this fit the bill. It was pretty easy to follow the directions and I sewed it together in about a day.
Making the Madison now and with the video tutorial Natalie breaks it down into easy steps. I’m using Moonglow vinyl and Anna Marie fabric from my first Match up!
Gonna make next week!
Happy with pattern instructions written out very nicely did get cut out just haven’t had time to sew yet. It printed out perfect
I’m making bags for gifts for Christmas. This is a great Bag to make for yourself and others as gifts.
You can make in cork or vinyl. Beautiful bag either way. Very comfortable to carry.
I have made 2 bags so far and I love the way they turned out. The instructions are easy to follow and it’s a fun bag to sew. The recessed zipper is a nice touch.
I have not made the Madison bag yet. I have read the directions and they look easy to follow. I am waiting to purchase a special cork.
Haven’t made yet but bought the companion video and have watched it. The pattern is straight forward and quick to make. Can’t wait to make this bag!!!
Love this pattern. I am making my third one now. Easy to follow even for a beginner.
I just started making the bag. Half way through I am a tote bag maker thought I would try something different Natalie's video was a life saver couldn't have even started it without it. Mine is out of the purple cork.
