Sewing Machine Requirements
It is important to know your machine and the materials that it can handle. If you are using real or faux leather, we recommend an industrial or heavy-duty domestic sewing machine. If you are using lightweight faux leather or cotton canvas, a domestic machine can be used. For best results, keep any woven interfacing out of the seam allowances on a domestic machine.

I haven't started the bag yet, but this pattern was listed on the website for 12.59 but was changed when i added to my cart. I wasn't happy with that and a human never responsded to but ai. not happy about that . I should have been given the 12.59 price and not the 19.99 price. first impression is not a good way to start out with a new customer.
Hi Delois! Taylor here. I'm the gal that responded to your original email about the Sorella pattern (no A.I. involved). I was hoping to hear back from you after we offered to honor the sale price of the pattern. The offer still stands so feel free to reach back out and let us know! Apologies for the initial disappointment but we're so glad you are giving us a second chance as part of our wholesale program. Hope to talk soon!
This was my first attempt at making a purse! I struggled some but not because the pattern was hard or bad, just because it was my first one! I made it from real leather and it turned out beautiful!
Every pattern and materials that I have purchased from Simply Clasic are of high quality, the patterns are exquisite and very well written. A plus is the amazing video tutorial with each bag.
I liked the unique features as well as your well thought out pattern. As always, excellence is evident in every aspect of your products! I have learned so much from you, Chris. Thank you!
I am looking forward to making this bag. It looks great and pattern is easy to read and follow
