              Gabby Bag - AWESOME!

              I downloaded the pattern last week, ordered the hardware kit, and got sewing. This bag went together very quickly, and the pattern is extremely well written. Lots of detailed instructions and diagrams to follow, and every pattern piece fit together perfectly.

              The bag is lovely and is not too big nor too small. I am inspired to try more patterns from Emmaline!

              Great Bag

              I am very pleased with my bag. The instructions were easy to follow. I agree it is for an intermediate sewer skill level due to the zippers. I made mine with a vinyl fabric and outdoor fabric. My first time using vinyl and I think leather (which I have sewn before) would be easier. However, it all came together. The emmaline hardware for the bag is what moves it from"home made" to "I can't believe you made that" category. I am definitely making this bag again.

              Stylish Gabby

              The Gabby is a great pattern, very easy to follow. I was a bit hesitant as a beginner sewer as it's an intermediate pattern, but with the clear well written pattern I was able to produce a fantastic looking bag, that the new owner loves. Can't wait to make another one
