The bag itself was easy to make and quite therapeutic. The tutorial instructions were very good but I found that the hard plastic boards for the interior of the bag were very hard to do especially the large front and back boards as they were awkward to hold due to their size and trying to keep the tension right. The stitch used for this ( slip stitch) is the easiest stitch, but because of the rigid boards and trying to keep the tension right, they are not easy to execute. Also the boards are not cut to size and you have to do that ourselves which produces a raw, rough edge which chafes on your skin as you are working and pulls threads on your clothes. I wanted to make these bags for the females in the family as a Christmas present but because of the problems with the boards and the time it takes to do them I won’t be making any more. Also I am making a blue bag so I don’t understand why I was sent a black zip and black thread. I have to say that it’s a shame because the bag is beautiful.
