Can i ask what the measurements for the pocket is. On the video it says 4 and 3/4 by 5 and a half. In the discription ot says 6 and a quarter by 5 and a half

[@SewVeryCrafty]

It should be 6 1/4" x 5" sorry about that.

Jane, I have been looking for your other comment and can't find it so I am answering it here. Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you but you do not open up the handle part just the sides. You stitch the sides up to the arc so that when you turn it right sides out the straps should be straight. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you need any additional help.

how wide is your material

[@SewVeryCrafty]

The fabric is 44" wide.

Could have been an excellent tutorial, but often the top of your sewing piece was out of camera shot. Also, I struggled with the second seam of the French seam i.e. how to properly get the side fold enclosed. Unfortunately we cannot see what you are doing with your hands to make this happen.

So sorry about that. There is a blog post that goes with the video that may explain it better.
