When someone requested a drawstring backpack to hold their bike helmet I knew right where to get one. And this pattern does not disappoint. The pattern is well written and contains plenty of pictures for reference. It is a very easy sew. The bag turns out so nicely and is a very good size. I have made 9 so far for gifts, and as bike helmet holders. Do not hesitate to sew this bag. You will not be disappointed.
