Excellent video. While I used the pattern for cutting, for construction I just followed the video. I had no issues completing my Layla this way. I really like the details and clear demonstrations of the process.
I would not hesitate to purchase any of the other instructional videos!

Thank you for such a great video. Love the pattern but I’m a visual learner & that video was fantastic. Half way through my purse now & I know I will be making many more!

Watched the video before starting the purse. Love Lisa’s teaching style. It’s just like she is sitting beside you cheering you on. Just started the purse and the pattern directions are enough for me to make great progress! Can’t wait to show a picture of my finished bag.

Love the Layla pattern and having the video was just icing on the cake. The pattern is well written & the video is excellent. Very pleased with both.

The Layla video is just what I needed to answer the few questions I had with the pattern. This is a very well written pattern and easy to follow. The video helped with tips and tricks to make it work just right!
Bernice Keller (verified owner) –
I am fairly new to bag making, so the video is a wonderful way to better understand the described methods. Although, the pattern also has wonderful, clear instructions. Thanks so much! I hope to finish Layla today!

Excellent pattern (didn’t need the video, but I’m sure it was great), fun to make. I’m not very experienced, so it was a little bit of a challenge but the results were great.

Amazing pattern, clear and concise directions on the video for absolutely every step!

Have not made the project yet, however, I have gone over the pattern & video. I don’t foresee any problem. Especially thank you for the video. I work better with a video.

I love this scrap-buster perfect wallet. The pattern was easy to follow, the video was on point and very helpful, and I had no problems turning the wallet through the zip pocket. Well done!

This was my first time using an Andrie Designs pattern. The accompanying video was first class. No stone was left unturned, Lisa’s demonstrations were so detailed and clear every step of the way. I picked up so many tips which I will find very useful and the links to her other videos were great too. The written instructions were very clear and the illustrations were a great visual aid. 5 Stars – what more can I say 🙂
Melanie Smith (verified owner) –
I found both the written pattern and the video very clear and helpful. Won’t hesitate to recommend the Layla pattern & video to others. Thanks for a great sew!

The video is very good. Very good details. I started with just the instructions and only used the video when I needed a ilttle help.

Starting my second one now. The first one was for a fund raiser. This one is for me! Very easy to understand pattern and I love the modification with the coin pouch in the center!

As a new purse maker, this was the very first wallet I have ever made, the instructions we very well written and easy to follow, the video was exceptional. I am glad I was able to utilize both the written pattern and the video, highly recommended!!

Fabulous pattern with clear and easy to follow instructions. Lots of places to put things and holds a ton! Really nice options and helpful tips to follow.

The video is invaluable. I have been sewing for over 50 years, and I learned a few helpful techniques. I agree with others that Lisa’s teaching style is fantastic. I am so proud of my purse and I could not have had this great result without the step by step guidance of the video.
Also I have great appreciation of the skill Lisa has in creating this pattern. It is worth every cent I paid.

Hope all is well, I loved the idea of watching and sewing at the same time. The only disappointment was the centre card holder. None of our cards will fit into that centre piece. If and went I get to make it again I would probably watch the video again, but make the centre piece bigger in order to fit our cards.
Thanks again for allowing us to view your work. Stay safe in this problem world. …..Liz
