Summary:

Customers found the finished bags charming and appreciated the inclusion of all necessary materials, like snowflakes, chains, lace, and interfacing. While the assembly process was generally described as easy, some wished the written instructions were more detailed, particularly regarding piece measurements and handling the lining. The color photos and accompanying video helped clarify the steps for a few. One customer noted that the pattern should warn against touching a hot iron to the lace, as it melts.

Note: The summary above is generated automatically based on customer feedback.

Adorable Bag!

The finished product is absolutely 5 stars and very cute. The directions are printed with nice color photos, but I would have appreciated a bit more detail on the written instructions. Final measurements for each piece would have been helpful as well. I found the video useful for filling in the gaps.

Be careful of hot iron on lace.

The pattern needs to mention do not touch hot iron on the lace, it melts.

Nice pattern

When putting the lining in it was a little confusing at first. But once I figured it out, no problem.

Such cute carriers for gift cards and/or money.

Lovely little bags. Easy to assemble. I do like that the kit makes 10 bags, and includes the little snowflakes and chains and the lace and all interfacing fabric'
