This bag is not for the faint of heart. If I had known what it would be like, I might not have made it, but I am glad I did.<\/p>\n<p>I have a love-dislike relationship with ByAnnie patterns. There are a lot of them. Many of the bag shapes are interesting and useful. I can&#8217;t, however, wrap my mind around some of the directions. This is not a surprise to those of you who have been reading for a long time. My brain doesn&#8217;t work like others. Videos have been helpful. In this case, I found that Annie skips some steps that are considered very basic. After looking through the basics videos, I emailed them and they gave me some suggestions, but also said they don&#8217;t have enough resources to do full length videos for every project. Sigh. I blundered through.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, the bag was put together and just needed finishing touches, <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2022\/01\/apfe-v-2-nearing-the-finish-line\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">as mentioned the other day<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I spent a couple of evenings hand sewing the binding down. I know that takes time, but I couldn&#8217;t stand the thought of cramming the bag through the machine. I had the time so I hand sewed the binding. I looks great.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_55023\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-55023\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220125_152713_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-55023\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220125_152713_wm-sm-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"APfE: pages strapped in\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220125_152713_wm-sm-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220125_152713_wm-sm-768x522.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220125_152713_wm-sm.jpg 832w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-55023\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">APfE: pages strapped in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The strap that keeps the &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220109_213322_wm-sm.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pages<\/a>&#8216; in place was WAY too long.
