This video was easy to follow. One thing though, I left the lining open to turn the finished bag and machine stitched it closed. No hand stitching and my closing seam is hidden in the inside bottom. Viola! Thank you for an enjoyable project that I am gifting to friends and family.

When purchasing the light/medium interfacing make sure of the width. I didn't pay attention and even though I purchased a yard it wasn't enough because the width was narrow. Also, they didn't have iron on heavy weight interfacing and I had to sew mine on and that created some issues with the seaming. The iron on can be cut inside of the seam line which would have made things easier. Overall, I liked the pattern because it allowed me to incorporate a friend's childhood crochet zig zag blanket attempt. I turned it into pockets for the inside of the bag. I did find sewing in the bottom panels a bit challenging. It isn't a perfect result but it is fun and quirky with the various fabric patterns.
