I love making the Wanderlust Phone Bag! I had so much fun I didn't stop at just one... This pattern requires just a small amount of your favorite fabrics to make a great fashion statement. Thank you for a fun, fast, fantastic pattern. P.S. I did install rivet magnetic snaps to the finished bag so I didn't have to worry about topstitching around the magnet.
Made this up quickly before I left on a cruise. Perfect to hold cell phone, room pass and credit card securely. The instructions for this bag deserve a award. I have never read such logical, clearly written instructions. I will be making again in something more colorful but was looking for something to blend in for this event.
Love this pattern by sewing seeds of love studio. The directions were very clear and easy to follow and there were pictures along the way to reference. I enjoyed making this bag.
This is an almost-perfect bag. The design itself IS perfect - I just needed it to be a liiiitle bit bigger. Going to print larger, but I think the original size could be a bit bigger to start. Other than that - easy to make, a great grab just the essentials bag, lightweight - just perfect! I HIGHLY recommend this.
I absolutely LOVE this little bag! Such and quick and easy sewing project. A great scrap buster! I would highly recommend this pattern, as it is very beginner friendly. Instructions are wonderful and very clear.
Love the pattern! I had some issues with the final topstitch with my machine so i enlarged it a couple
Times till I found a good match. Excellent instructions!!
Super fun make - and went together quickly. Good directions and a helpful video made success even easier. I used some non traditional material for the bag panels (stretchy stuff) but with the interfacing it all worked out great. Thanks for a great pattern!
This is the first bag I have made. I was really impressed with how clear and detailed the pattern was, and the helpful video. I'm very happy with the result!

Beautiful first bag! Really well made! Please share it here with the fb members! https://www.facebook.com/groups/ssoldesigns
Fun pattern! Not too complicated. Takes some patience to do the stitching at the top of the bag but the instructions are very well written and help you right along!
Very detailed pattern and tutorial. Being a visual learner, it’s great to follow the video, but with this second bag I followed the written instructions.
