And the labels are logically grouped for each part of the construction. Not simple, but neither are her bags, which is why we love them.
Annie Unrein has several classes on Bluprint, for making several of her bags. Perhaps you would do better to sew along with a step-by-step class until you get used to her pattern style.
sewbizgirl - The bag pattern she had trouble with was not a ByAnnie pattern. It was by Nancy Green and distributed by the Annie's catalogue. I used to confuse this all the time, so it's kind of refreshing that I'm not alone in having done that. :-)
