SILVIA did it!

I'm ready for my summer vacation! I'll be flying across the ocean to visit my son and his family. Like I do every year, I've been thinking about what gift to give to my daughter-in-law. That's when I came across this bag pattern.

It's a really handy and useful bag with a unique design. I managed to sew it together in just a couple of afternoons, thanks to the pattern's easy-to-follow instructions and video guides. I picked out a pretty floral fabric from my collection to make it extra special.

Putting the bag together was quite smooth, since the pattern had all the measurements and steps I needed right from the start.

With every stitch, I could see the bag taking shape, but the real excitement came when I turned it inside out after sewing the final seams.

The bag looked fantastic with its twisted blocks and a sturdy structure; it also has a smart folded bottom.

Of course, I had to make a matching pouch! My sewing experience and the gift would have been incomplete otherwise!

Even my toughest critic, my husband, was impressed with the result. I'm confident my daughter-in-law will love this gift – it suits her taste perfectly! Can't wait to see her reaction.
