I love this pattern, I was scared at first but your tutorial made it simple, and your pattern tags. Thank you so much.

Well done.

Another fellow UK channel!! Yay! Hello, great to have come by your video and channel. Not sure if I detect a Bristol accent. Or a Welsh? I’m probably wrong on both counts😊. Subbed you.

I'm in the forest of dean between the two. Forest sounds a little bit Bristol sometimes 🤣

[@KimThane]

Ah rite. Well nice to have found you. I’m more embroidery on my channel, but I do make the odd purse. And I love watching anyone create anything.

Oh well, I thought I was doing a great job till I just now realized I put the zipper in upside down, so now the zipper pull points down when closed. Too late now, and its not the end of the world. the only thing that does bother is even tough I printed the pattern to scale, somehow the Outer base ended up being to short on the sides so I ended up adding a small piece to each end to lengthen it. Hope it don't look too bad when putting it all together. So I guess "Whatever" lol

all the secrets are hidden in our seams 😉 Did you manage to sort the zipper?
