I bought this pattern, saw that the shop owner had made one, it's lovely (much nicer than the picture on the cover). I can get my way through a quilt pattern no problem, but am having trouble understanding some of the instructions on this bag pattern.

Has anyone done this bag, and could help me with a couple of questions?

Thanks.

Would you be able to show us a photo so we know what you're talking about?

I have made lots of purses and totes and can usually figure out the pattern instructions. PM me and I'll help with your questions.

Thank you! I've read everything in the directions over and over, and quite a bit of it is sinking in, but some of it I feel is lacking in the description. I've slogged through and have the outside of the bag put together, and put the two sides of the interior together with pockets, but these do not resemble the pictures! The pattern says to always use 1/2" seams unless otherwise stated, but I think they must have forgotten to state that they use 1/4" seams to put the interior together. My interior pieces look like rectangles with turrets instead of rectangles, and I don't know what the measurement of the interior should be. I know you may not know the specifics of this pattern, but am I being descriptive enough?

Is there a website on the pattern? I would try e-mailing the designer. It is worth a try.

did you ever figure out inside pockets? Doing this bag for a friend who can't sew much anymore..
