Skill level:
This pattern is for the Intermediate bagmaker. You'll need to know how to install zippers and be open to trying new techniques. This pattern is domestic machine friendly as long as you use thinner vinyl or fabric - you’ll need to choose your materials appropriately. The designer says that you should not let this discourage you. She has a Facebook group that she's very active in if you need help. She also has a very helpful admin team and group members.
