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!”
"The patterns from Arabesque are always very creative, easy to use, and fun to make. Arabesque is also a top-notch seller. PLEASE support this small business!!!!"
