I guess I must have made at least 30 of these bags in the past couple of years. I think they're quite simple to make as long as you follow the steps in the pattern. There is a bit of sewing through some thick seams, but if that doesn't bother your machine, you should be ok. The original pattern calls for 4 fat quarters but I don't bother with the inside pockets, so it only takes 3 fat quarters. Many quilters are familiar with the Wonder Wallet from the same designer. It's even quicker to make and a perfect compliment to these bags. I'll be making some of them soon too. Check my blog in a couple of days and I'll show you them.
