I am not able to download this pattern on my iMac. When I click on the pattern download, it takes me to a PDF Mac Master download. I downloaded this but still nothing happens in regard to the pattern itself. How do I get it?
The big Download buttons are actually ads. Don’t click those. The link to download the pattern is further down in the post, a text link that says “you can download the pattern here” above a photo of the bag. If you click that link, it’ll take you to Craftsy where you can download the pattern for free. Hope that helps! –Anne
I printed the pattern and it does not give you the details on what size to cut your pattern pieces. Please help.
I just checked out the pattern and you are correct – that information is missing from the pattern and the post. I suppose you could try reverse engineering based on the finished measurements she gives in the post, but that’s a lot of math. My best suggestion is to leave a comment on her post and see if she can update the pattern to include that information. –Anne
