I ...Hi Aubrey, I don't have those instructions. I think they're probably basic bag-making steps, so you might be able to google for tutorials. If you don't want to purchase the book, you could see if your local library has the book you can borrow, or go look at it in a book store to see those sections.

My questions: as I don't have the book, do you have instructions for making 'open end straps ' (step 4), and 'inserting linings: pull through and turn out method' (step 18)?<br /><br />Thanks for the pattern!<br /><br />Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09529556306943658500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-88322000785891140132012-09-12T08:40:09.686-05:002012-09-12T08:40:09.686-05:00Brown Eyed Girl, a follow-up note:

It should measure 14.5cm across at its widest point.<br /><br />They suggest a few things that, if missed, may cause the flap piece to be oversized:<br /><br />The flap pattern piece measures 14.5cm across at it's widest point, which, when doubled, makes 29cm – this matches the size of the main body piece exactly. The pattern piece includes the seam allowance.<br /><br />Step 2 asks the reader to trim off 1.5cm all around the Decovil interfacing for both the main body and for the flap, and repeated for the fusible fleece.<br /><br />In step 10, where we are making up the case flap, the reader is instructed to trim the seam allowance to 5mm (from 1.5cm to 5mm). Missing out this part of the step would result in the flap piece being 1cm too large all round.<br /><br />Does that shed any light?Jessica Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111703670084066670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-30950606080141717122012-08-21T08:08:39.687-05:002012-08-21T08:08:39.687-05:00WOW.
