I opened up the envelope ready for a "quick make". Most reviews on Amazon UK say the instructions are easy to follow . Though I have made similar cosmetic purses before by following tutorials posted on youtube, I became concerned about my mental faculties. Thank goodness for the sewing groups on Facebook. I asked if anyone else had used the pattern and what they thought of it. I got a quick reply from someone who told me she had wasted a lot of material and developed a pattern phobia after trying to tackle Simplicity 1153. Similar comments followed. I read the instructions again. Annoyingly some of the items are not lined. I changed my mind about which view to follow and have had a small success. I'll stick with youtube tutorials in future though.
. Simply the diary of a beginner .
