"The pattern is easy to read and follow along. I had no issues with the direction. I've sewed a few smaller things, parachute pants were my biggest accomplishment before this. I only found it daunting due to my own design tweaks and materials collection/choices. The pattern was great to lean back into. I thought the bag was too small for a tool bag, so I scaled it up by 1.2x, in hindsight I did not need to do that. 😝 oh well. I used real leather, varying thicknesses, and waxed 12oz canvas, which are very sturdy and robust materials, but it did mean I had to tweak a few processes and steps to suit, allowing for lots of self development along the way.
I loved every minute of making this bag and have learned so much about the process and the materials. Thank you ardente design for making such a kick-@$$ bag!"
