I didn't cut individual pieces of the interfacing to fuse on the pattern pieces. I put the interfacing on a length of fabric, then cut the pieces. I feel it saved a lot of time and frustration. Be sure to follow the directions exactly and go from step 1 to step 2, then step 3. Don't get ahead of yourself. Have ALL your notions before you start -- you will be surprised at the order you will need them. Don't let the instructions intimidate you. Focus only on the step that you are on! It would be good to read all the instructions before starting. When working on your tote if you don't understand what the instructions say then take a break and come back to that step when you start again. This is not a quick bag to make but it really isn't all that hard -- just a lot of instructions. My 11 year old granddaughter made this bag last year -- she got a blue ribbon, Best of Class and Best of Show at the fair.
