I am not able to download the pattern for this “Bag-Making Basics: Drawstring Bag & Bucket Bag” class. My security software is blocking the download as an unsecured site link. I welcome your recommendations and feedback in my search for a resolution! Thanks in advance! Madonna
Such an excellent class, very clearly explained. And my bucket bag turned out beautifully. Thank you Kristin.
wow very nice i want to make them
For the bucket bag: I would like to enlarge for example if I wanted a 10 3/4 diameter how what length would I need to have for the sides? Thank you!
I am a premium member, my cache is cleared, yet it says I cannot have access to the class materials unless I purchase the class? Would you please sort this out for me. This isn’t the first time I have been denied access to the class materials.
Unable to download pattern, there's no download "button" below the PDF icon.
I'm gone to say to my little brother, that he should also visit this website on regular basis to take updated from newest news update.
Hi all from Australia 🇦🇺 I’ve had no problem downloading pattern. I’ve made all these bags. Fantastic technique and clear simple instructions. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work
Aw, this was a very good post. Spending some time and actual effort to create a great article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and never seem to get anything done.
Also getting the error 401 for the pattern. I have cleared my cache etc. as below and have tried to email customer service who said they wouldn't help me because I'm not a member - even though this is a free pattern? Won't bother with membership if I can't get the patterns easily. Please can you repair this link since it seems no one can access it?
