The Midi Bag by QuiltSmart was tres cute... but I needed the pattern because I couldn't figure out how it went together by looking at completed totes. I've been sewing and reading patterns for over 50 years so I believe I can review this one fairly. I cannot recommend this pattern for beginners... or even advanced beginners... unless they are in a class where they can receive assistance. The pattern…
