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!”
