A little about my rag bag patterns:
Here are some quotes from some recent buyers on this specific pattern...they literally couldn't believe how easy it was:

SGG said "I just had to tell you that your bags are the most stunning things I have seen. I am adding you to my favorites so that I can find you when I can afford one.
I go to a lot of art shows and have never seen anything so outstanding! You are very talented."

MF said "just wanted to let you know purse arrived and
I just love it . Your workmanship is beautiful
and very professional. I definitely will be ordering
more from you. Thank you so much for a great product."

SH said "Hello. Pattern arrived today and of course I dropped everything to read it. Pattern is very well written, thank you for all the hints, tips, etc. also best xxxx places for fabric and ribbon. These rag bags are just the cutest and I can't wait to start one."

CDF said "About the pattern, it was wonderful. I have been sewing for 30 years or more and some sewing patterns are terrible. This was very easy to understand and I didn't even know how to crochet...the tieing the sections together is such a good idea. The other pages you sent on helpful hints was great help."

Warning:
If purchased, the project and journey you are about to embark on is HIGHLY addictive. I, as the seller, can only take responsibility for introducing you to this opportunity. I, however, cannot be held responsible for any addictions or addictive behavior that may follow as a result of knitting or crocheting just one purse.
