This pattern also comes with a detailed video that is SUPER helpful:
Let's start with what I made:
I made four Libretto bags in canvas, cotton flannel, vinyl, and upcycled burlap. They each turned out great! I made all of them with my domestic Juki except the vinyl/burlap one. That burlap was thick and added to the heavy vinyl it required my industrial in spots for all the layers.
Now for the fabulous testers!!!!
