The directions are wonderful, and they are free! I bought this fabric to use on a different bag pattern, but when I saw this bag, I liked it a lot better than my original choice. The only thing I would change is the kind of clasp I used. I sewed in a magnet in the front of the bag and the flap, but it isn't strong enough, so to reinforce this, I will probably add a small snap on that flap, too.
I love it when a plan comes together! I sewed this whole bag with invisible thread, and while it is a pain to fill a bobbin with this thread, I sure love how it covers your sewing sins - especially on the top stitching portion.
LOVING this bag... I think I will now make one in every colour :)Are you part of the "Bag Ladies Strike Again" facebook group? If not... why not?!!!

love it Sarah! the fabric is perfect for a bag; great job!
It looks fantastic! Now I really have to finish mine. LOL
I wonder why the magnetic snap wasn't strong enough. That is weird.
Sarah, it's fab! I have used that fabric too... actually I've had a sampling of the entire line to work with... love it!
Love it!!!
