Cream version turned out beautifully

I had a skein of cream cotton sitting in my stash for ages, and this pattern was the perfect excuse. The granny square popped up beautifully — even with the lighter color, every stitch shows. The instructions were very clear, and I finished it in two relaxed evenings.

Blush pink with a small charm

Made this in the softest blush cotton and added a small charm to the pocket. The instructions were so easy to follow that I was able to focus on the styling. Honestly, it looks like something I would buy in a boutique. Already starting a second one in sage.

The texture is wonderful

The dimensional flower on the pocket is beautiful. I used a slightly chunkier pink cotton and the stitches really stand out. The photographs in the PDF for the puff stitch were a tremendous help — first try and it looked exactly like the example.

A versatile chocolate brown

I made mine in chocolate brown cotton and it goes with everything in my wardrobe. The puffy flower in the center of the granny square is a lovely detail and really makes the bag. The pattern photographs were a great help for that section. Highly recommended.

Burgundy and cream — elegant

I chose a deep burgundy yarn with a cream contrast for the granny square, and I am thrilled with the result. It looks like a designer piece. The pattern handles color changes very well, with clear guidance on when to switch. A wonderful purchase.

Lovely with variegated yarn

I used a self-striping pastel yarn in pink, lavender, yellow and mint, and it turned out beautifully. My daughter immediately claimed it. The pattern works wonderfully with multicolor yarn — the variegation makes every row look intentional.

Made two — olive and charcoal

I could not decide on a color, so I made one in olive green and another in charcoal grey, both finished with magnetic snap closures. They look so polished I am seriously considering opening a small shop. The pattern is well-tested — not a single confusing step.

A lovely personal touch

I made this in soft denim blue and added small daisy buttons on the flap — a little personal twist. The pattern lends itself to customization beautifully. It took me about six hours over a weekend. Very approachable if you know the basic stitches.

Beaded — stunning result

I sewed small crystal beads into the puffy flower and added a leather tassel. The pattern provides such a perfect base to embellish however you like. I received compliments all week. Worth every penny.

Magenta is a beauty

I used magenta acrylic yarn — what I had on hand — and it still came out gorgeous. The flap closure is clever and keeps my phone secure when I am out and about. The granny flower medallion is a lovely touch.

A rich plum purple

I have always loved purple yarn, and this one came out rich and saturated. The pattern measurements are accurate — fits my phone with a case perfectly. It took me about five hours total. I am already making one for my sister.

Printed and used like a workbook

I printed the entire PDF and used the photographs like a workbook. The pictures for the strap clip attachment (photos 42 to 44) were particularly helpful — I would have struggled without them. Honestly one of the best-photographed patterns I have ever bought.

A lovely texture

I used a chunky purple cotton, and the texture is wonderful — soft, dense, and holds its shape beautifully. I am slightly intermediate, and this was a perfect skill stretch. I learned the puff stitch properly for the first time, thanks to the photos.

Soft grey with a braided strap

I chose a soft grey and braided the strap a little more tightly than the pattern suggests, which gave it lovely structure. I added a small 'Handmade with Love' label on the pocket. Already planning a navy version.

A welcoming pattern

I love that the pattern opens with 'Let's begin...' — it made me feel less intimidated. Round 1 is crystal clear, and the photograph that follows seals the deal. A genuinely well-designed PDF.

A successful first bag

This was my first bag, and I was nervous, but the magic ring tutorial in the PDF made everything clear. The photo for Round 1 was exactly what I needed. I am very proud of how it turned out.

My new everyday bag

I made this in beige cotton, and it has become my everyday phone bag. It goes with every outfit, the pocket holds cards and a key, and the strap sits exactly where I want it. I will definitely make more in different neutrals.
