Very easy to follow instructions and the teacher was very pleasant to listen to. I printed out the pattern and I plan on making quite a few of these. Thank you good class.

the camera angles and direction are off .. also asks for a 12 inch zipper .. that seems way long to me .. I used a 9 inch zipper ... just bad teaching all around ...

The techniques made the end product messy. There are better ways to install the zipper and finish the bag. Also the camera wasn’t set up well to see what she was doing sometimes.
