The pdf pattern:
Completely updated in March 2022, a sew-along video series accompanies the step-by-step pattern instructions. Photos for each step fill the fourteen pages of tutorial-style directions. Printable pattern templates are included for both fabric and interfacing pieces. Additionally, dimensions are provided for square and rectangle pieces in order to use a rotary cutter and cutting mat. The designer includes fabric and interfacing pattern layouts, and labels to keep your prepared fabric pieces organized while you sew. A team of 15 testers vetted this pattern, testing varied methods and interfacings, editing, revising, and clarifying — ensuring your successful outcome. Whether you showcase a unique print on the flap or use solids for a minimalist feel, your creativity will find expression.
