How is everyone doing on the sew along? We are almost caught up to the schedule, so the next video will be for the front pocket and flap (Maybe today, maybe in a week...)! The straps video is up, if you need that!
 |
Still need to cut the lining and ALL the interfacing...
|
I'm trying to catch up with Amanda, so if you are in the slow lane with me, don't feel too bad! The good news for us slow pokes is that Amanda has to take a week off and won't be able to work on hers, so we have a chance to maybe even get ahead! (A girl can dream, can't she?)
 |
| D'oh, there's a back side with more to cut! |
I love the checklist in the pattern, it keeps me on track and if those labels happen to wander off, I'm still going to end up cutting all the pieces! I print it out and slip mine inside a sheet protector so I can mark them off and if I ever make the pattern again, I have it ready to go! (Highly doubtful, I'd have to charge $$$$ for a custom made one and I'm not sure my customers are ready for that!)

| One way is mermaid scales |
 |
| The other direction is fish scales...or maybe I'm switched? |
If you are ready to move onto the next steps, go ahead! Or if you get stuck, that's what the group is there for, and we will do our best to help! Sorry, I'm not going to do videos, but I can take a ton of pictures and try to help you wrap your head around any tricky spots. ;) Keep at it, this is probably the longest pattern I've ever attempted, but it will come together in a magical way, trust me!
