LOVE-LOVE-LOVE your patterns!!! I have made several and will continue to check out any new ones you might have!
From: Sheila Lynch
. . . I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this fabric! I saw it on fabric.com, and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!
The outfit has had a great response on ebay. I've been frantically looking for more fabric! It's very hard to find! It's become very popular! Seems like everybody is sold out! I am so anxious to see what you come up with next!
I rarely use commercial patterns, so yes, this is a design that I drafted. My sister has twin girls and they are really my source of inspiration! They are as different as night and day! While I can create a full, twily skirt for one - the other one likes the plain, big legged pants with a tshirt! They are still young enough that my sister loves to dress them similar....but not "alike"! The duck duck goose print is perfect! They both loved it!

Hi, I recently purchased the above pattern, and I just had to tell you how pleased I am. I made the handbag yesterday afternoon,used it last evening and received so many compliments, I'm starting my second one today. The instructions were great along with the diagrams and it went together so well. I'm going to check out the website and order some other patterns. Just wanted to say thank you for your expertise and keep up the good work.
Sincerely,

Hi Jamie,
I'm going to attach some pictures for you. The betty
boob purse was the first I made with your pattern, and
I have had so many compliments every time I carry it.
The others were made to match some summer outfits, and
once again they were hits.
Thanks for your inspiration and keep up the good work.
Regards

Hi Jamie, "For this novice sewer, it [Double Envelope Scrap-bags] was easier than I expected and I was able to complete it in one evening. It is surprising how much this little bag holds." Peace Mary

hi jamie, i just finished making your yinyang bag, and had to thank you for such a fun and well-written pattern. i am 59 years old, and this is my first project in about 21 years - i was afraid my brain cells would short out! But i had no problems, and came out with an adorable bag. i purchased my pattern at paula's Fabrics in jacksonville, Florida. i've already ordered a new pattern . . . the original scrap bag, and am probably going out in the rain today to purchase fabric so i can get started on my next project! i also downloaded the floor cloth instructions - i can see i'll have to do lots of projects so i can generate enough scraps for it! Thanks again for inspiring my creative juices after so long. please excuse the erratic punctuation and capitalization - that's what happens when you spill coffee in your keyboard.

Can't thank you enough for the creativeness and terrific selction. Keep up the great work, please.

I love your purse patterns: I got the ying yang pattern in Osseo WI (which I am working on right now) and they also had the Hexagon kaleidoscope pattern. Like a fool I only got the ying yang. I am kicking myself now because I really liked the Hexagon but thought it might be too difficult for a non quilter. (I know nothing about quilting) . . .
Thanks, Laurie Rockman

On The Breeze Bag – If you are looking for a new purse, this is a wonderful pattern. It has everything that you could possibly want in a bag – outside pockets for cell phones and eyeglasses, 5 inside pockets, and a magnetic closure. This isn’t a project for a new quilter, but if you have some sewing experience, you’ll do great.

Here is a picture of the scrap bag that I just completed. Had a lot of fun making it. Elinore Locke

I am hoping to redeem myself by showing off some of my sewing skills. I must admit that I am not usually very good at following a pattern, if, and when I use one at all. But, I thought it would be a good idea to try out one of our new patterns, so I made a real effort to read and follow the directions the whole way through! I made the Original Scrap-bags pattern.

from Mary . . . 04/28/07 As I mentioned in my last email I was on my way to the shop hop. I can not tell you how excited I was to find your patterns and fabric in the woodstock quilt supply in woodstock NY. Two men own the shop and my enthusiam was very obvious when I walked in to find your products. They told me that they had the pleasure of meeting you. Your fabric is wonderful . . .

Hi Jamie,
Here are some pictures of the folded scrap bag I just finished. Your directions are wonderful for someone like me - I am NOT a sewer. If I can follow your directions, anyone can. And it was fun.
Best wishes, Karen
