She designed the idea, and I gave her guidance on how to get the end result. I kept track of the steps, and she tested the pattern on water bottle bags for her siblings. She helped type up the pattern, which you can also get in PDF form for FREE at Raverly.This pattern is kid friendly, but if you have any questions let me know by emailing shopannavirginia@gmail.com.
We hope you enjoy! (2020)
