A general description of size and how you did that handle "loop" would probably be sufficient. Come to think of it, how you made that pocket would be welcome.

I would also like to hear more about the fabric/interfacing/hardware types you used. I always learn so much when you explain your choices.<br /><br />Remember your pocket series? I recently made my first welt pocket based on your instruction. Maybe you should teach that new pocket in the same style.<br /><br />For your business side, some crochet blogs do free tutorials on their site, and a paid version (same content but set up to print nicely) for just a few dollars.

I find that for myself deconstruction photos are quite enough to make my own version, especially if they are well done (yours always are).

I'd love to see dimensions included in the Deconstruction Tutorials. It's the one thing that would help me get started on several things I'd like to try, but the thought of not knowing how to get started has made it too easy to just look for another project elsewhere. I think for me, having piece dimensions is the one thing that would make a huge difference. But...maybe you don't know the piece dimensions when you start a project and would have to figure that all out after the fact. Yeah, that would definitely not be cool for you to do, but if you know the starting dimensions at the beginning of a project, those would be really, really welcome.<br /><br />Thanks for all you've shared here over the years. Your posts contain not only beauty but also many thought-provoking questions.LisaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01006819220069426357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-87549966256268537592017-08-22T05:02:28.471-05:002017-08-22T05:02:28.471-05:00Seconding the suggestion to put out a deconstructi...Seconding the suggestion to put out a deconstruction tutorial first, and if you find the time later to produce a full pattern for those who want/need that kind of instruction.Vairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07624060143619223333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-55061031996375645062017-08-22T04:54:48.686-05:002017-08-22T04:54:48.686-05:00It' s funny because this is the kind of bag I ...It' s funny because this is the kind of bag I wanted to make for a long time...and there you have it!

I love that you can do so many in a year & keep on posting. The rough sketches you sometimes add in are good enough to let me build my imaginary project. <br /><br />I gotta say though. I'm dying to figure out how you made that strap! One of the things I loved about the bag series was how you occasionally broke down a particular technique into tutorial shorts? minis? Tutorialettes? Whatever.
