    Just bought the pattern, plan to make the reduced size, thank you for the video. Would love to see how to add a divider, looks like the perfect bag for that.

    You can use a heavy-duty domestic machine like a brother heavy duty machine it can handle up to 4 to 5 layers of leather or vinyl depending upon the thickness or the item.

    I haven't ever used that machine, so I don't really have any input. There is a group on Facebook called Juki Junkies that might be helful!

    Thank you for this vieo. I just completed the 100% bag. If I do not use seatbelt webbing would I cut the with of the straps and connectors the same width as the 100% pattern?

    Do you taper the side seam of the lining as you sew up the sides for a smaller fit inside the bag?

  • @SincerelyJenPatterns

    Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I think usually if I use thicker interfacing like foam, then I will be more likely to increase the seam allowance.

    Hi - this is the first time ive made a reduced size pattern (scary). I'm not going to use webbing so would my Handle Connectors be the same as the 100% size (2"x11.5") or should i do as (1.5" x 10.25") Thank you

    I’m trying to write all the measurements down on my pattern for the 85%. You mention handle connectors in the video as 9.75., but in the description box it says 10.25. Does the difference of .5” matter? I’m terrible at math, I should add. Sorry😂

    Once I finished the bag, I decided they would be better if they were half an inch longer. That's why I listed them at 10.25". So definitely use that measurement!
