"This pattern is great! I was able to easily make this purse in about a day for a luau that I was having. Instead of using the paper yarn, though I just used regular worsted weight yarn and added a stiff liner to give it the structure that it was missing, thanks to the brilliant suggestion of the seller. The only thing that was missing about this pattern was that it didn't explain how to add the pearls, as it's done after everything is crocheted. With the regular yarn, I ended up just getting some embroidery floss and sewing it on. However, I'm not sure how that would work for the recommended yarn. Anyway, I highly recommend this pattern!"
