I?ve been browsing the internet looking for examples of bags using different fabrics in a similar way to the Elizabeth bag and I found an old post about a carpet bag. I love the picture and would love to try this but I can?t find the pattern or hardware (I can find clasps but not the frame)?does anyone know where I could get the pattern or any sources for the hardware?? I?m hoping that this might be one that?s revisited and comes available again?

Dear all I would like to sew an A line skirt but not too sure how to get the A . Can anyone advise how many inches to add? I already have the block pattern. many thanks to all!
Debbie replied: 3 Aug 20 at 03:04
Hi Heng, I think this depends on how wide you'd like the 'A' to be, try measuring 3" from each side of the bottom of the skirt and tapering to the waist, make up a toile to make sure you're happy first!

Can anyone help with a problem I have with the template for the Sew Simple Tote from Debbie's book Tote Bags. I am trying to make the Sew Simple Tote and the template doesn't seem right.? The template measures 10" x 8" and she asks you to draw around the 'whole' template 1, and I know you have this on a fold. But the finished size of the bag is 15.1/2" x 9.1/2".? I hope someone can help.? Thank you.? Jan.

I want to make the March 2020 convertible backpack bag but have never tried one with so many pieces. I want to make one from some canvas fabric I have spare, as a trial. I plan on adding a quarter inch extra to the top & bottom of Backpack Base pattern piece. Is this the only alteration I need to make to the pattern? In the video Debbie mentions adding extra to the main fabric too but I don't know why? If it is required, I don't know what other parts of pattern to alter. Can anyone help?? Many thanks Cheryl

hi Wendy. I have mine in a cupboard but if you look on Pinterest there are some good ideas for storing things. Ikea have some interesting sewing room ideas and layouts... it all depends how much space and fabric you have!! X
