You Can Do It!!! It is easier to cut all the pieces at once, then sew the next day. I took some little post it notes and pinned the sizes on the pieces as I cut them. Then there was no confusion the next day when I started sewing. One fun thing I did was take a 2 inch piece leftover from cutting the tie and stitched it in the seam of the lining. I found a cute charm that said LOVE, added a larger jump ring to it and hooked it to the tab I created. I did that on the one for my daughter! I am going to put a tab inside my next one for hooking my keys on!
