Hi!

This video is a tutorial, of sorts. Like the old adage of give a man a fish and he eats for a day vs. teach a man to fish and he'll eat for the rest of his life, what I hope to convey in this video is enough information to help someone who already knows a bit about sewing, and even bag making, be able to more easily tackle a project like this giant duffle bag while being challenged to learn and adapt, not following a step-by-step process. There are large swaths of information missing from this video, but with some prior experience, some trial and error and some puzzling things out, you should be able to make a project like this of your own!

As always, I'm happy to try to answer any questions, just ask them in the comments section!
