I made the
Caravan Tote, a pattern by Noodlehead, and I am impressed – so much so that I
stopped my knit night and made them pay attention to the bag!
Most
impressive is the front zip pocket. The
instructions were made up on many steps – each one simple – but as someone who
struggles to visualise things I was completely surprised that it worked out so
neatly. It really is clever – the seams
are entirely finished and the pocket itself is quite useful.
There are
lots of little steps that end up improving the bag – like the stitch line
toward the bottom of the bag which helps the bag sit nicely.
The only
thing that wasn’t clear was how far to insert the straps and next time I would
leave more of the strap in the body of the bag (between the layers of various
fabric) – this would probably require longer straps than the pattern calls for.
Overall
it’s a very well written pattern.
It's made up of many short steps – the vast
majority of which are well described and easy to follow.
