That's the interesting thing about bag making - there are different ways of doing (almost) the same thing!<br /><br />Re inches or centimetres, I am of the age when I was brought up on inches (and "old money" as we often say here about pre- 1971 currency!) but can now happily work in either.LizzieLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00854229133345270816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5450934855564746299.post-20857501361143114482017-08-24T08:36:43.258+01:002017-08-24T08:36:43.258+01:00Hi, she does free tutorials here http://www.debbie...Hi, she does free tutorials here http://www.debbieshore.tv/category/tutorials/page/2/ Granny's Button Boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822845675603176211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5450934855564746299.post-21928892746598961912017-08-24T02:00:20.353+01:002017-08-24T02:00:20.353+01:00I like the DUMD patterns too, I have to convert al...I like the DUMD patterns too, I have to convert all the measurements into centimetres for them to have any meaning.<br /><br />http://mypoppet.com.au/makes/2015/04/zippered-wash-bag-pattern-make-a-gift-from-one-mother-to-another.html<br /><br />I've made several of these - all for other people.

Debbie Shore has a good bag making book called Brilliant Bags has 12 diff patterns with photo instructions rrp 9.99. I used foam stabiliser in my last bag, better than wadding as it makes the bag stand up by itself without sagging, quilting it makes it even stiffer. Its thick but easy to sew.
