I’ve just finished
https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1337391189/retro-tec-sling-bag-sewing-pattern?
for my DD.
It’s the first Kandou Crafts pattern I’ve made and I’m quite pleased with it.
My only niggle is the internal binding. I’ve always birthed a bag so the seams are enclosed but this one has the seams bound with bias tape after assembly.
I found it really difficult to keep the binding neat with all the lumps and bumps of the seams. The designer suggests trapping the seams within the binding and sewing with one pass but I couldn’t get a decent finish this way, so resorted to hand sewing the backside of the binding.

That looks very neatly made. I've not tried binding seams yet, may have to give it a go, although it does sound fiddly!

I love the little peek of shimmery purple and it's so neatly put together.
