    When she gets to the part that says “remove all layers and cursing is allowed” just know I followed all directions to a “T”! In all seriousness, beautiful directions, easy to follow, and perfect unisex pattern. I made an 80% and it made the curves spicy, but still doable.

    Love this pattern. I’ve made three now. One in leather for a friend., one in vinyl for me and one in waterproof canvas for hubby. Perfect shape, size and ease of carrying. The instructions and video made it very doable as Diane gives such detailed tutorials.
