Hi Laura, sorry for the late reply. I have looked at the video on vimeo and the front and back seem the same width but both the pattern pieces and the bosal come with a wider back than the front the back measuring 14ins and the front 10ins. This seems such a waste of materials if the back is cut down to match the front is this how the bag is made?

Ok ..do check out the video that I linked to you as it may give you some more clues. They don’t seem to need to trim down any pieces during the make so don’t want you to trim unnecessarily. Hope it works ok.

Hi, I have everything I need to make the Shelly bag but I am confused by the fact the back is wider than the front. Will this 'sort' itself out when the gusset is in place? I am new to bag making and don't want to start cutting until I am sure. Thank you for any help/advice Frances

Is the video still available on the QR code with the pattern ..might be worth having a look at that. I had a look on this You Tube video…scroll through to where they show the bag pieces are shown and it seems to me that the outers are the same width so perhaps have another check of your pattern pieces. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N2ouNvikvuk

I have looked at the tips for some help with putting in a concealed/invisible zip. I have seen the tip on a centered zip would this be the same method please?
Laura replied: 10 Jul 26 at 09:01
No they are not the same as a centred zip uses a standard zipper and an invisible zip uses a zipper where the coils bend backwards and you do not see them on a finished item. You use a special machine foot for an invisible zip and it gives a nice finish on clothes and cushions etc. An invisible zip is surprisingly easy to install when you get your head around the method. Debbie has a couple of You Tube videos demonstrating the method and I have linked one here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Or30awLESls

I have made the bucket hat in the smallest size for my 18 month old grandaughter and it seems too deep , if I reduce the size will the depth be the same ?
barb replied: 10 Jul 26 at 14:53
If you change the printer settings to say 80% then all dimensions will reduce in line. If it’s just the height you want to reduce you could add one or two small horzontal folds across the height pattern piece, if you reduce this piece from the top or bottom then the size won’t be right for the brim or the circular top. But by folding within the piece it will still fit. Good luck.

Hi i sent an email ref the sewing machine pin cushion with a pic as for some reason i couldnt send the pic but i have not heard from anyone ?
Laura replied: 10 Jul 26 at 09:09
The Sewing Machine pin cushion was removed after its two year period and although it returned in 2022 for a short period it has not been returned again as yet. Projects don’t get taken down after two years anymore and old removed projects are returning slowly but not the sewing machine pin cushion so far.
