Tried twice today (with bouncy castle) to make a half frame bag.
Designed and re-designed the net pattern, but neither came out close to acceptable. After hours carefully measuring and cutting card, plastic, and loose threads, at least I know what doesn’t work.
Now that I have the mistakes out the way, hoping to make something serviceable tomorrow.
Part of the issue is the material, with little-to-no cooperation on tight corners with overlapping seams, it’s very much a test of good design not simply straight stitching. Looking at stock photos of factory-made options online, I can understand a lot of the choices other people have made to literally cut a corner.
