The Donna Vintage Handbag sewing pattern receives excellent customer feedback. Here are just a few:-
- Nicole said – I love this bag! It is the perfect size and it sews up really quickly. The slip pocket on the front is genius and really adds to the character. I will be making many more of these! Thank you for the great pattern!!
- Christina said – I absolutely love this bag, the pattern is so easy to follow, and the finish product looks stunning. I made a travel set, consisting of the levi utility bag, the donna vintage bag, and the Dakota tablet clutch. All in the same matching fabrics, they look very professional.
- Donna said – LOVE LOVE LOVE this bag. Was easy to make and has inspired me to make more bags. And to think all of my bags will be one of a kind because of my fabric and hardware choices. I’ll never see anyone else with MY BAGS. Thank you Swoon. Keep them coming. I just ordered some more and can’t wait to make them.
- Amy said – It came together perfectly. Loved the pattern, and love the bag!
- Christine said – Great pattern and little versatile bag! Drop in lining is a challenge and I had to sew the two top seams together from between the exterior and lining to prevent the lining from sagging. Otherwise it’s an awesome design!
- Janet said – Very easy to sew together and unique. All my friends like it and want one.
