Bag Making is FUN! Issue #324 - July 15, 2026 | | | |
So...since I'm almost ready to send all the files for our next new pattern, the AeroSling to the printer, it's time to choose a "Cover Model" for the pattern cover, and as many of you know, I like getting feedback from our loyal customers before doing so! So if you'd like to see more pictures of the "cover candidates", & let me know which model YOU would choose, just click HERE! (I LOVE this part of the process!)
So while you check out the choices, I'll get back to all the "finishing up stuff" & I hope you enjoy this issue of "Bag Making is FUN"! | | | |
