I made the Professional bag (don't remember the pattern maker) for my son's Japanese mother-in-law and it took me THREE days to do. OMG! The first day was reading the loooong instructions and cutting ouy the millions of parts (okay, hundreds, but it seemed like more) Days two and three were spent, like you, slowly sewing pieces-parts into various bigger pieces-parts with zips, clips, elastic, magnets and velcro. Yipes! It turned out beautifully beause I was so anal about following the instructions, too. Wish I could find the photo...I think it's on my other computer.<br />Anyhoo, yours is awesome. Now , let's get back to comfort sewing...quilts!WAZOO!
