The two patterns I got to try out are both by "Molly and Mama." Unfortunately, my little model couldn't make it and I only have pictures of the finished items.
The Darling Daisy bag is simply adorable! I chose to leave off the flower "face," but may add it on later with a pin as it will make a wonderful brooch!
I also stitched up the Flutterby Kite. I chose to piece my front a little differently to use up the dots I found in my stash and love the way it came out. I also left off the trim going around the kite to see how it looks (quite nice ;) ) without it.
Over all, both of these patterns were so easy to make! The directions were clear and I would definitely recommend either of these for a beginner. They would even be a great project to work on with a child!
