Japanese Knot Bag Pattern by Rana Heredia

pretty bag, but no printed pattern, only a link to download it. why should i have to pay sso much for it

It was fun to make

I love the concept of this bag & looked forward to having the patternn. The pattern itself is the size of a toddler book. The instructions, in an effort to fit on one page of the small book, are hard to understand & not user-friendly. The "pattern pieces" are about 3"-5" & this is supposedly a plus so you can make the bag whatever size you want. I was disappointed MS would sell something like this.

The dimensions for this bag can be found for free on any YouTube video for the Japanese Knot bag- it was the idea that this pattern did indeed have a full-size pattern to use that enticed me to buy it. So - consider it a waste of $6 if you spend your money on it here for the paper pattern. Save your $6 and buy fabric here and then watch a good YouTube video for the bag construction and measurements.

I thought I was getting an actual ready to use pattern not a piece of paper I will need to go get copied to fit. This is very disappointing.

Love the pattern but very disappointed that I had to go have it enlarged. I expected a pattern full size. The UPS store can't ever do it. I have to take it somewhere which is 20 miles away to have it enlarged. Plus came in high box. Could have been put in brown envelope for under $1.

I searched a long time to find a Japanese knot bag pattern. Was disappointed to order this "pattern " and discover it was just a card board set of directions. The pattern included is a small diagram in the card which needs to be reproduced at 400% or down load on the computer on multiple sheets and tape together. I guess I am old school where I expect a pattern to actually be a pattern full scale and ready to use.

Very easy pattern.

The “pattern” turned out to be a 1/4 size template that had to be enlarged. My printer doesn’t do that so I took it to a FedEx shop and it would have cost twice again what the pattern cost me. I will probably get out graph paper and enlarge it the old fashioned way. But I shouldn’t have to. Very disappointing.

I like the directions, but without an actual pattern I can’t make it. It says to copy is at 400%. I have no idea how to do that. Very bummed.
