Love this pattern! Easy to follow. Well written instructions. Plus the curved top is unique and so cute! Will be making many more Serendipity Hip.

I have made a few of these Serendipity Hip bags. The first one I made I tested for Christine. The most recent bag I added a jumbo grommet to the bag front pocket for placing plastic dog bags in that stick out the grommet for easy access to grab for picking up dog poo when you walk your dog. I sold that bag at a craft show. It was so easy to alter this into making a dog walking bag. But you could still turn it into a dog walking bag just by accessing the front zippered pocket. Speaking of pockets, for a small bag this baby is loaded with pockets! One pocket is a hidden pocket on the front with a phone pocket too. Even credit card pockets are inside this bag, so you don’t need to carry a wallet with you. The adjustable cross body strap is perfect to make it fit your body or shorten the strap for a shoulder bag.
There are other bag patterns this size out there from other designers with a straight top, but they don’t have the phone pocket, the hidden pocket or the lovely curved zippered top closure that the Serendipity Hip bag has. I have made a couple of those other bags and didn’t like them as well as the Serendipity Hip Bag. Not to mention that Christine’s instructions are so much easier to follow for me.

I just made this pattern for my Christmas purse. The instructions were, as usual, so easy to follow. It us the perfect size for me. I like to carry the necessities but not the kitchen sink lol. Chris’ patterns are my favorite as she is very thorough with her directions.

I’ve now made three if these, one for myself which was admired by friends so much that I made two more and have plans for a lot more. The pattern pieces are quite small, so it’s possible to get the main body out of a fat quarter, with a bit to spare. The straps and contrast then use another fabric. Fantastic instructions, and it always surprises me how quickly it’s finished.

This bag is a Tardis. It looks so little but holds a surprisingly large amount of items. My first one was “cute” as I only planned to use it on weekends but I’m preparing to make a few more formal ones for the work week.

Easy to follow instructions. Turned out wonderful. I added my own little touches
