Loved the instruction. Easy to follow Bag came out excellent. My only critique is I wish the inside lining was sewn to the outside without having to hand stitch. Thanks for the lesson!

Great class! It was easy to follow and make the bag. I just wish there was an easier way to attach the lining where you don’t have to sew it in by hand.
