What a unique and gorgeous bag! I'm currently working on a Moonwake, one of my favorite bag designs of all time. I might have to try this one next.

[@luckyblackcat16]

Love your patterns so much and was so excited by all the sneak peaks of this beautiful new pattern; just purchased it and I'm itching to get back home to my materials to start working on it!

[@LAKatKreations]

I have been looking forward to your new pattern since the workshop. It’s gorgeous and worth the wait!

[@vickisage1510]

It’s gorgeous 😍

[@crislaurita5049]

Do you have a video how to make it ?? Love it, love it !! You’re genius!

[@lavendertwinepatterns]

All my patterns come with a complete video series 🙂

[@elainen2636]

This is a beautiful bag. Do your instructions include how to make it smaller?

[@lavendertwinepatterns]

Thanks! I didn't include that, but one of my testers made it at 85% and said that she didn't change much of anything except she took the 1" hardware down to 3/4" :)

[@joemmanansala8484]

I wish to see a tutorial to know if i have the capacity to make it. It has a very unique structures and lovely features, that I'm afraid will mess up, am a visual learner and not good with written instructions

[@Emeilada]

If you buy the pattern it comes with videos instructions, her instructions are very good and easy to follow

[@shariwatson9030]

The pattern is really well written and the video that you get is excellent. It is not hard to make at all. Just take it once step at a time

[@Craftbags33]

Erica what thread are you using and where can I get it ! Just love this pattern , but my industrial didnt like my vinyl and wanted to use my Juki Thank you

[@eml121]

Hey there! I'm using Gutermann Extra Strong thread and I grab mine at Joann's. It's a heavier thread about a Tex 70. My domestic loves it but not all domestics would be able to take it. A great alternative is a Tex 45 or Gutermann Sew All.

[@Craftbags33]

@ thank you so much appreciate it

[@margaretcook935]

Sorry, I take it back I finally found the videos

[@christinewatson7557]

Can this bag be sewn on a domestic machine? - I have a Bernina 570QE

[@lavendertwinepatterns]

Hey! I don't have experience with that particular machine, but I do design and make all my bags on domestics. I specifically make sure there is limited bulk in all my patterns.

[@christinewatson7557]

@@lavendertwinepatterns Thank you so much, I will give it a go

[@mariehoke5763]

Can pattern be made smaller? ​@lavendertwinepatterns

[@lavendertwinepatterns]

@@mariehoke5763 yep! If you're a part of my Facebook group, you'll be able to search and see some examples. The only difference I would make is taking the Handle hardware down to 3/4" so they fit on the smaller side edges.

[@margaretcook935]

Very disappointed, I have bought the pattern but I can't get the video up. I have tried several ways but none work for me.

[@lavendertwinepatterns]

I'm sorry to hear this but there are several things we can try! Maybe you haven't tried one of these: -Make sure you fully download, Save As and open the file in Adobe Reader. The video links more often then not don't work on mobile or if the file is open in an Internet browser. -If your file is open in Adobe Reader and the links still don't work, it may be because you don't have a default Internet browser set. For example, if you have two internet browsers on your device, like Edge and Chrome, but neither are set as the default internet browser, then Adobe doesn't know which one to open the link in and therefore won't open the link at all. Hopefully one of these two suggestions can help. If not, please reach out to me!
