So I have this pattern and I am trying to make it but the instructions say nothing about how to attach the flap or how to sew together the strap, it is also very unclear on how to even sew both large parts of the bag, to make it a bag. I like how it has turned out so far but I feel as if I need to figure out the rest on my own.
this looks like a very good book bag. I have been looking for easy fast projects that I can use for something and this fits all of those.
Love it.
Finished pic is on top ppl!
I am kinda young but i love sewing
this will be my first sewing pattern made!
it seems nice..but picture of the whole procedure will make it clear 🙂
I like your idea it’s pretty cool,and fun.
I love this craft, but it could use step by step photos. Still 5 stars, though.
I would really like a picture because I don’t really know what type of bag it is. Is it a backpack a bag that you wear on your side… Also what type of fabric is recomended?
very creative
Instructions for how to attach flap were left out. For experience sewing people, not the biggest issue. For inexperienced sewing people, can be a little confuzing.
I don’t think it needs a pic. I’m so trying this out!:)
it says to hang tight for a pic!!! sheesh people!!!
Love it though:)
easy to make
great to use
great idea!!!!!!!
but a pic would make it feel better.
Cool! Can’t wait to try it!
i’d really aprreciate a picture so i can see what it looks like!! ☺♥

directions read very easily. Project anyone could make. Would like to see picture of project.
I loved it! But I do think a pic would be nice =]
definitely needs a picture…
I don’t think a fnished pix is NEEDED, but it would be neat to see the finished product, otherwise the pix provided give an idea on how it should look.
A picture is needed.
a picture of the finished items would be very nice
NO pic!
Not for inexperienced sewers.
Ithought it was really cool
