Omg i would love to have one of your messager bag in army green just like the blue one you got there in a size 13 /13/4/1/2 ❤

[@EliDaniels-d3n]

Hi there. Is there any other way I can buy this pattern? As a South African, PayPal isn’t really an option…

[@RosiePosieAU]

Love this pattern, thank you, going to try it this week. I've been trying to find the tutorial for The Ruth but it's not available anymore, I had been watching it a while ago but it's not on here now that your channel has re-opened. Will it be available again at any point for pattern holders? I know there is another version but I liked how you explained it. :)

[@BillyFifty]

Hello! Thanks for your comment. I forgot to re-add the Ruth. Sorry about that. I have fixed it so you should be able to see it now :)

[@RosiePosieAU]

@@BillyFifty awesome, thank you.. Love your patterns and tutorials..

[@karenward3542]

I would like the same skull pattern on the inside of my army green messenger bag ❤❤

[@RavensNest21]

I bought the pattern, but there are no measurements included unless I missed them. Can you send me the measurements?

[@BillyFifty]

Hi there, the measurements are on the bottom of page 1 of the included pdf document. You might have overlooked them.

[@rayfenton-storey4589]

There is no measurement as to where to put the insert zip

[@BillyFifty]

Lay the fabric down and position the zip box 1.5” from the top

[@gaetanefouquier456]

Bonjour. Très bonne vidéo merci. Quel type de tissu extérieur avez-vous utilisé svp?

[@BillyFifty]

Hello! Thanks for the message. The fabric is weather resistant canvas outside and quilting cotton inside.

[@handmadebyfaith4063]

I'm curious about something. Is the grommets for looks or is there another purpose for them? Love this pattern can't wait to try it.

[@BillyFifty]

If you have a m9bile phone in the pocket you use the grommet to thread your ear phone cord through :)

[@handmadebyfaith4063]

@@BillyFifty oh ok awesome idea lol... I guess you could always use it to hook your keys to also lol.

[@kathleenworkman5878]

I would think if your going to call this a Beginner Friendly" Project, YOU WOULD INCLUDE EITHER WERE TO GET THE PATTERN, OR HOW TO CREAT A PATTER, OR AT LEAST THE MEASUERMENTS OF THE PCS. USED TO MAKE THIS BAG. YOUR TUTORIAL IS N O T BEGINNER FRIENDLY AND RATE IS LESS THEN A 2..........

[@BillyFifty]
