This professional looking carrier is NOT a simple project and will require lots of homework. The detailed instructions can be a little overwhelming so let retired high school sewing instructor & Palmer Pletsch Certified Instructor, Jayne Vetter guide you in the construction & completion of this professional looking bag.
