Oh I love this. Also I have some of the fabrics you used. I am like this when I BUY a pattern because I guess some of them don’t the testers like you do. Or maybe I can’t follow directions. So enjoyed reading this- Thanks.

Most entertaining and enlightening blog post I’ve read in a long time – thanks for that!!!
I agree with Pamela – I buy bag patterns, too, after trying one time to figure it out myself. I bow down to you designers!
