    Why do Bonus Materials state: “Bonus materials available after purchase?” Shouldn’t the pattern be included in the class with our Craftsy subscription?

      I don’t believe the “new” Craftsy allows for it. This video was originally recorded under the original Craftsy (before it became Bluprint then back to Craftsy).

    Can I use a serger to do my seam allowance instead of a 1/2″ seem allowance, trying to practice with my new serger.

    Aloha Krstin,
    I imagine you ironed both seam allowances on the bottom of the bag, one flap at at a time, I can see they have been ironed flat as you move to the next step, but you never mentioned ironing both flaps… I was a bit confused, until I saw them both ironed. (wink)
    * * *
    Yep, some of us are paying attention to every little bitty details… (grin)

    Great ideo to this point.

    Until that time. . .
