    I’ve made the Vivian traveler and love it! There’s so many different ways to change up the look I’m going to put a zipper pocket on the outside and a large open pockets on both sides of the next one I make. I belong to the Facebook group and I’ve learned so much about bag making.

    My favourite traveller and so easy to make. I did one with a poppy design fabric for an ex military friend who absolutely loves it. Thank you.

    I LOVE my Vivian traveller. I was able to get her done within 2 days for a trip to san Francisco. I love the clear and easy instructions of swoon patterns! Highly recommended! Perfect carry on size for the plane too. Fit under the seat in front of me. I DID lengthen my handles so I could toss it over my shoulder (cut straps each ten inches longer before construction). Love Vivian!

    Such a classic bag! This was my first time using Soft & Stable and seriously, where has it been all my life?! I get so many compliments on the style of this bag. I made the handbag size and it is perfect for carrying my everyday essentials, plus some! (And my Della fits perfectly inside!). The exterior pockets are perfect for easy access for my phone and keys. Another great Swoon pattern!

    Vivian is such a classic! Beautiful design, size and functionality. The pattern is easy to read and follow, even for a beginning bag maker. After makingost of these bags, Swoon patterns never disappoint in both challenge and style. LoVE getting compliments on them (And you’re sure to get them when carrying a swoon pattern.)!
