On the flip side I have made several of Joan Hawley's Lazy Girl Design bags. They are very well written and easy to follow and always turn out great.
Just my humble opinion.
I think I'll sign up for her newsletter too. I've made some of the lazy girl bags and like the way the patterns are written also. I found another of the L.G. patterns in my sewing room while cleaning out a drawer yesterday - one I haven't tried. I think I'll make it first. I'm not usually too faint of heart, :-) but I may watch some of the videos and study for a while before spending so much for the Baggalista pattern.
