Making the first one is always a little slow, but I promise you the light bulbs will go off for you all along the way. I had to reference the printed instructions many times before I would cut each piece. WOF means just that, WOF (width of fabric). The pocket element will actually be wider than the purse body piece but you will trim the ends once you sew the pocket pieces to the lining. Post any questions you have, there are lots of folks who have made them and Im sure they would love to help.
