Quiltingboard Forums - A Different Purse

So yesterday I was at the store and flipping through pattern books and saw this cute bag. I bought the pattern and some material to make it. I really like it. With that said I wouldn't recommend buying this pattern the directions have missing steps and at least one pattern piece overlapped with another. I have been sewing since I was a child and I have never had two different pattern pieces overlap creating a chunk out of the pattern that you have to guess your cutting a straight line. Also, the directions recommended craft weight interfacing. All the interfacing I have ever purchased is listed as light, medium or heavy weight. So, I had to guess what craft weight was. Another thing I changed was adding fusible fleece to the lining and the handles I did differently. I think even with my heavy weight interfacing the bag would have been a little flimsy. When I make another one of these bags I will do different pockets as well. Thanks for looking.
