And, of course, above that are the pattern pieces in PDF form that you can print right out on your home computer. It involves a bit of taping together for the larger pieces, but it may be easier than drawing your own. Please let me know if I've misunderstood your question or can help in some other way. Robyn Sasha,

Is there anyway, you could show the dimensions in a larger font? Thanks again.

I find a piping foot to be tons easier, though, so I truly recommend investing in one if you sew piping very often! If not, make do with what you have on hand!

I'm glad you like the bag. I only added the fleece for stability purposes, so if you feel you have enough layers going, then leave the fleece off. Good luck. We'd love to see the end result.

I am actually in the process of making it to be used for a diaper bag, but I have a question. I am using a thicker decorator fabric and iron on vinyl to make it waterproof, do I need to have the fleece too? Is that just to add thickness/stability? I have the fleece, but it just seems so thick to sew through ALL those thick layers. Thanks so much!! I can't wait to finish!! Love this bag!!
