Enjoyable make!
I saw this in the store and I am couldn't wait to make it. It is definitely an intermediate pattern, and I am a beginner sewist. But I was able to figure everything out, so I would not hesitate to recommend this pattern to an adventurous beginner. In reading the other reviews, I knew I wanted to make the bag a bit bigger and the straps a bit longer, so I did make those modifications.

Super cute and fairly easy!
I’m a Halloween fanatic and as soon as I saw this project, I had some fabric in mind. It’s a simple tote so easy and quick to sew. As the pattern is, the bag is smaller than I thought but that’s an easy fix for future bags. I also thought the straps were short so I made mine longer. Otherwise, way adorable and so many possibilities with different prints!

Nice pattern!
Easy to follow pattern and directions. Bag is super cute.
IMHO the straps need to be a couple inches longer if you want an older child/teen or adult to carry the bag. For a child, it should be perfect.
I took one star off for that but really it’s a good, solid pattern.
