I think you designed a fantastic pattern! I have made several handbags and drawstring bags in the past and this is my new favorite pattern! Thank you for including such a remarkably easy and beautiful way to showcase a cathedral window, I love the overall aesthetic attractiveness to your graphic design and the illustrations are like none other I have seen so far. Beautiful job!!!

I want to say kudos to you on designing an easy to read and follow pattern. Although I have been sewing for years, several of the skills used here were new to me, and your directions are spot on. I also love the diagrams and found them very helpful.
Karen
The Creator's Compendium
“Another fantastic pattern from Arabesque Scissors! The clear descriptions and lots of pictures make the pattern a breeze to follow and if all else fails there are instructional videos to guide you through. I really enjoyed making the Compendium — and though I’m not a real planner, it's great to carry around smaller projects. The pockets hold all my glue sticks and papers for EPP. I’ll definitely be making another one!”
