Belmont - Pattern

Didn’t work for me

I am an expert level seamstress/bagmaker (it’s my business) and I was extremely excited about this pattern. I loved the unique design and the 5* reviews. The price was a little more than I’m used to but, I figured it was worth it (I also purchased the Naito.) I almost purchased the license but I decided to make one first. The pattern was easy to download/print and the instructions were spot-on. Unfortunately, the design itself is unusable. The Tote Bag option doesn’t work due to the location of the straps (should have realized it based on the model picture.) The Backpack option is great but, the fact that it has to be customized for each person, just isn’t conducive to my business. I’m not sure what I will do with my finished bag but, just have to cut my losses. Thanks

The pattern is very well written and the bag turned out nicely. I did add strap buckles to adjust the length of the straps. Adds to bulk, but I can go with that.

It’s great
