Gauge:
Gauge is not imperative for this design, as this is based on a concept rather than exact stitches. If you would like to measure close to mine, my finished square prior to sewing the motifs together measures around 11.25 inches.

Finished Measurements:
Finished bag measures approx. 16 x 16 inches at the largest measurements, not including the handle. The handle measures approx. 16 inches in length, but is adjustable to preference.

Also included is a very detailed, step-by-step video tutorial linked throughout, as well as 23 detailed photos to help with the most difficult portions of the pattern. The photos are listed separately in case you wish to omit them from your printing.

There are no refunds for the purchase of my digital patterns. All of my patterns have been tested and edited accordingly; however, there may still be lingering errors, as I am human.
