NOTE: I am in the process of re-writing the pattern. Once finished, those who have already purchased it will receive the update in an email. New purchases will have the updated file in their first download. I do not have an estimated completion date, so please be patient!
THIS IS A PDF PATTERN FILE ONLY!
You will NOT be receiving any of the bags in the photos or any other physical products. This is a downloadable sewing pattern that must be opened on a computer or other device. There are NO REFUNDS for pattern purchases!
Files are automatically placed into a zip folder by Shopify, and can't be changed at this time. Zip folders can't be opened on some devices. If you don't have access to a device where you can open a zip file, please contact me via Facebook for assistance.
