I've made 3 Bargellos. They are not hard to do. It's fun to pick out the fabrics and arrange them to get the look you want. The next day you look at them again and FAITHFULLY you rearrange something. This may go on for several days till you're happy. The boring part is the cutting and sewing. Once that is done the fun begins once again. Putting it together, and watching it litterally come to life is so energizing. Whether using a pattern or creating your own (for me creating my own is the really fun part), I whole heartedly recommend making one.. GO FOR IT!! You won't regret it. Have fun and post the picture when it's done.
