I think these are good tutorials if you are very precise in your measuring and cutting…I am not that at all! I had to fudge the piece in so many places to get it to line up…and again, you do have to use a non-directional fabric design or parts will be upside down.
Super cute! I’m not fond of sewing things that you have to be very meticulous about measuring and cutting, so this would not be a pattern for me, but boy is it adorable! I love the blue snaps you put on it and that kitty fabric is just darling!!!
That’s super adorable! I am inspired. I kinda wanna make one. You can’t tell that you messed up anywhere. It looks perfect. I like the fabric you picked too.

I think if I had made a paper pattern first to check it, it would have been easier and more accurate.
I just cut the fabric using the measurements and probably mixed inches and cm, which I tend to do a lot since I learned the metric system first. lol I have to tell my brain to pick one or the other when I am sewing! lol
It’s so cute and unique-looking with the double flap. The fabrics are adorable!

I’m going to try one of these for my grand daughters.
You learned metric first? Obviously not in the US. I remember when metric came to Canada, in my grade 11 year, I was not impressed having to learn it just before finishing high school. I still sew in imperial but everything else is metric.

I went to elementary school in Turkey and high school in Panama.
Right? In design school the teachers used imperial so that’s what I use for sewing too. Weight & height as well, and tempurature! Weather, house, cooking, thermometer are all F. Sometimes weather is in C.
It is a PITA trying to balance 2 systems, ugh. But at least there’s no Gas Mark, leagues or stones mixed in there.

Most of the sewing videos I watch come from Asia so it was just easier to use cm since I have rulers and tapes with both inches and cm…it saved me from cutting something 6-3/8 inches!
