Perfect for seam finishes inside bags. Adding the elastic helps to provide added structure to the bag creating better definition at edges.
The quality of the strap ends is excellent and they really add a finished look to the project.
I have not got to make it yet, but I love the shape and look forward to making it soon. The instructions seem doable. I usually cute out the sizes indicated onto poster board then cut the pattern. When pattern pieces are not provided.
I really enjoyed this project. It was my first attempt at making a wallet, and between the clearly written and illustrated instructions and Janelle's video, it went together beautifully.
Because of the small size, it doesn't carry much change, but for people who primarily use cards rather than cash, it's a fantastic option. I'm sure I'll make it again.
This pattern was relatively easy to sew, great instructions and pictures.
I realized I made a few errors, but as my friend from NFLD says, “A man on horseback won’t notice.
I sure my hubby will love it.
This was a fun make and turned out to be a cute bag/backpack! I really wish there was a YouTube tutorial! I haven't sewn in a year due to moving so I used scrap vinyl to get "my feet wet"!
I'm looking forward to making it again!
Hi Cynthia! We're so glad you enjoyed making the Bactrian bag and that it turned out cute. We appreciate your feedback about a tutorial—it's a great idea! Happy sewing, and we look forward to seeing your next creation!
I am not one that likes or is very good at binding! In fact I almost h@te it. This FOE has been a game changer for me. Wide enough to cover my stitches and structured enough to hold in place and looks so much better than my other attempts! Love this product! I hope it will come in more colours eventually.
Hi Nicole, we're so happy to hear that our Fold-Over Elastic has made a difference for you! Thank you for sharing your positive experience. We hope to add more colours soon. Love your bag!!! Happy sewing!
The purse hardware is the perfect rainbow compliment for my new bag! Great solid quality. Thanks!
