Rosie's Messenger Bag - Everyday Carry Bag Free Pattern and Tutorial
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 09. 2024
- Welcome to my channel!
Today’s video features a tutorial constructing my new free pattern which I am calling “Rosie’s Messenger Bag”. I designed this bag specifically to carry my iPad Pro. It has large zippered pockets on both the front and back of the exterior bag along with two generous pockets on the bag front. Inside, there is a separate compartment to carry the iPad along with a larger section to carry other items such as a wallet and other necessities. The interior center divider has a pocket which has sections to store your cell phone and pens. The bag also has an adjustable strap. The exterior bag is made from 10 ounce waxed canvas. If you wish to use the same waxed canvas you see in the video, I have an affiliate link listed below. The interior is made from 100% cotton quilting fabric and Interfacings used are WovenFuse2 and Decovil Light. There are timestamps below to help you navigate to different sections of the video. Thank you for watching. Please like and subscribe.
CLARIFICATION: In the video at 24:00 minutes, you will be sewing on the two chalk lines which are both 1” away from the center chalk line and are marked left of the center and right of the center.

An indication of yardage required would be nice, we found that it takes about 2/3 of a yard for the shell, 1 1/4 yard for the lining, 3 yards of woven interfacing, 1/2 a yard of heavyweight interfacing.

Actually, me neither. Rather, quite helpful.
I found your CZcams channel when I searched for a fold up shopping bag. They were for presents and looked great. I then saw your messenger bag tutorial and watched a fair bit of it just for fun as I had no need for one at that time . Fast forward a bit and my husband started asking me to make him a messenger bag. I showed him this pattern and it was everything he needed and in a free pattern to boot. Thank you so much for this. I am halfway through making it and following your video instructions is super easy. Thank you for making this pattern so accessible. ❤
Love this pattern I was a little apprehensive at first but I got there and love it. My only suggestion would be that you mention whether right sides or wrong sides are facing, as you used wax canvas and it was the same on both sides, it made it a little hard, for me at least, to follow sometimes, or maybe it is just me :)
Great tutorial, thank you. I’ve cut my outer pieces from my late husband’s leather coat and just bought some co-ordinating cotton for the lining. It’s going to be a bag for our eldest Son when he goes out with his son and needs his hands free to play with him.
This is absolutely lovely. In this way your husband will be with his son and grandson.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
LOVE THIS🥰🥰🥰
You are such an excellent teacher!! Slow clear instructions for each step!!
Thank you!🎉🎉
Rosie, I just found your channel today and I am so very grateful! Free patterns plus excellent tutorial with clear and precise step by step instructions! My goodness, who could ask for anything more? I have found several projects that I want to make from your channel! I will need to schedule which I will do first! I have printed out this bag plus your Essential Card Clutch and I can't wait to get started. You have inspired me to start sewing again and I cannot thank you enough!
Dear Rosie. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. You are so talented, patient and clear with your instructions. I just finished making this fantastic bag for my husband and he is over the moon. What a wonderful pattern and I think you are now, one of my favourite sewing instructor. I only made a minor change (longer flap with invisible magnetic snaps). Thank you so much for sharing.
So generous of you to give us the pattern for this lovely bag and detailed information and instructions. Thank you Rosie, you rock!
Thank you and you are welcome!
Rosie, you are very kind to share this unique bag pattern. I am very grateful! Your video is outstanding with precise instructions. Thank you so very much. Have a blessed day full of happiness!
I can't believe this is a free pattern. Your video tutorial is top notch and I didn't need any written instructions because it is so good. I only had a 1/2 yard of waxed canvas on hand so I mapped out the pattern pieces in Excel to make sure I had enough for the project. I wasn't able to make the front pocket full width but was able to make a single pleated pocket in the middle instead. Love the look of that. I used a combination of webbing and waxed canvas for the strap so I only needed 2 1/2" wide instead of 6". I used all but a 2"x24" piece of my 1/2 yard. I wish we could upload a picture so you could see the beautiful bag that you've helped me make. You have a new subscriber and I'm looking forward to checking out all your other videos. Thank you!! PS...I just ordered 4 more colors of waxed canvas so I can make more of these! BTW, my MacBook Air fits PERFECTLY in the slim pocket, like it was made specifically for it.
My daughter was just asking today for a messenger bag and this looks perfect! Thank you so much for this very detailed tutorial!
I love this bag. Your instructions are very clear and at a pace that I, as an advanced beginner can follow. Thank you. x
You are welcome and thanks for watching!
You have explained each and every steps very clearly and given us every important and essential tips for bag making. I gained my interest of bag making because of your demonstrations and patterns. I don't know how to convey my gratitude to you Rosie. Thankyou so much for sharing your brilliant experience with us. Always stay safe.
Thank you so much for your very kind comment. I can not tell you how much it means to me that my videos led to your interest in bag making. The reason I starting doing them was to enable people to do what they love. Have fun making bags and you stay safe as well!
I just made this AWSOME bag THANK YOU for the great pattern, and boy did I make you repeat 😅
Wow! I'm so impressed!!!! I watch lots of videos, and few inspire me as much as this bag. I absolutely love the high quality workmanship, and great details. Thank you SO MUCH!
I have made this bag several times and after making the first one, I have made several in different sizes. I have added a second insert, a full mesh pocket and closures for the front flap. I absolutely love this pattern! I get so many comments from those who see it and can’t believe I made this myself. Thank you Rosie for the great pattern and this tutorial…I watch it every time I make one of these bags! My only wish…the material you use doesn’t seem to have a front and back, so sometimes it is difficult to know which side I should be working on. I have used waterproof canvas for the outer bag.
Hi Faye
I am trying to figure out how to make this beautiful bag bigger ,can you help me with a bigger size pattern .I really would appreciate it. Thank you
You did an amazing job coming up with this bag. So functional and stylish too. I really like the look of the waxed canvas. I've never used it before.Thanks for making it a free pattern!
I've been scouting the internet for a messenger bag that has everything I need and THIS is it! My search is over!! Big enough to fit a 3 ring binder, has a divider, a flap, pen pockets, zipper pockets, slip pockets, lots of pockets!!! So excited to begin my trial bag! Thank you so much!
Exactly what I was looking for! Found a few, but this one is definitely the best. And it's free. Thank you! I'm not a bag lady at all, but I'm at an age now where logging around a plastic bag with my stuff isn't cute anymore :-D Well, I guess it never was :-P But this bag is a perfect compromise for me without me feeling like a dude with a handbag.
I am glad you like the bag. Have fun making it and thanks for watching!
Wow! I can’t wait to try this pattern! It is exactly what my son wants me to make for him. Thank you so much for all the time you put into creating this pattern. So generous of you. Your video will be playing as I sew.😀
I meant to watch this tutorial in sections because I thought it was a bit long to just sit there for that amount of time. However I was hooked and watched the whole thing in one go. This is just the kind of bag I have been looking for. Thank you so much for showing me how to make it and giving me a free pattern as well. I appreciate your generosity. Thank you from Queensland, Australia.
WOW...I am impressed. I usually wonder how many people I am putting to sleep...lol! I am so glad that you like the bag and hope you give it a try!
@@RosiesArtStudio i agree with Jean. Thankyou so much for giving us the pattern. What size needle do you use?Thankyou
Thank you so much for this tutorial . I had been looking everywhere for a messenger bag pattern . This one is so perfect ! I made 2 of them ( so far ) and they look pretty good . I love all the perfect pockets . The frends I gave them to were very impressed that I was able to sew so beautiful bags . I used your ' how to make a better fitting lining' ( since I did not do the divider) and it fitted like a charm. Am I glad I found your tutorials!
Thank you for such a great pattern! I am almost finished sewing mine and it is beautiful! I have watched and rewatched this video! It is so hard to believe this pattern is free. It must have taken a lot of time, thought and trials to create this pattern. Thanks again!
You are very welcome. I am glad to hear that you love the pattern and have made the bag. This is the bag I carry everyday and I love it. Enjoy yours and thanks for watching!
I take my ROKU while I travel for work and watch a LOT of sewing videos. I came across your review of the Sailrite Fabricator, just before I bought mine, and I am in love with my machine. Your video has great info on using it for bag making. I decided I wanted to make this bag, but thought it may be too hard. I watched the entire video twice and realized that just by watching your fantastic (and professional) tutorial, that I indeed CAN make this and plan to start this weekend. Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials! I can't wait to watch the rest. Are you a professional instructor?
Thank you Rosie - I have followed a lot of your tutorials for bags - This is awesome. You did so much work for us to get a free pattern.
Thank you and you are welcome. This is such a difficult time for the world and I wanted to do something that would help people get their minds of things and keep everyone busy...myself included. Enjoy!
@@RosiesArtStudio May God bless always in all ways for your kindness to us all!
I love the video! I think this is my go-to tutorial! I think the plans (because you have so amazingly laid them out for us) could even be scaled to make other sizes! I LOVE IT! BEAUTIFUL!
I am so glad to hear that you like the tutorial so much. Have fun making the bag and thanks for watching!
I’m just starting into bag making & watched your video (for the second time 😳) and this is so exciting. I love the bag & it’s like watching a great movie with a super buildup to the ending. Awesome job. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you for another detailed and thorough tutorial. And you have such a pleasant relaxing voice...
Awww…thank you for the kind comment and thanks for watching!
This is a lovely bag and the pattern looks very well drafted. I’ve been wondering what to make with a cut I have stashed away, and I’d say this is it. Your tutorial is extremely well done. Clear, concise, and well edited. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you so much for the pattern and template. As I don't have a printer, I traced the template after checking the size of the two inch box. I now have the template. I only say this for others that may not have a printer. It can be done!
My niece wants one of these, so now I can make one.
I look forward to checking out your channel more thoroughly, I just found this messenger bag tutorial today. Can't wait to see what else you have. You are a great instructor.
Mesmo assistindo 4 anos após a postagem, achei muito atual, moderna, funcional. Parabéns Rosie's
Oh, Rosie. Many thanks! I'm traveling in the summer (I can't believe it!) and this is just the bag I will need. I have time to get it made. I am so enjoying all your tutorials.
I am glad you are liking the videos! It is a great bag for traveling. I actually use mine everyday and really love it. I made mine out of my son’s old jeans. Have a wonderful trip and thanks for watching!
My STARS! If I had had that pattern in high school it would have saved me a lot of grief. As it is, I have been looking for the past 3 years for a purse that could stand up to my life style and could hold many shapes and sizes. This is fantastic! Your tutorial was very concise. Showing examples of what to do for mistakes was wonderful. I'm looking forward to getting the pattern and attempting it myself! Thank you so much and blessings on you and your household.🖖🐇🐣🙏🐝🤠🐱🕊🥀🌼🐞
Thank you for your very kind comments. I am glad you like the bag and hope you give it a try!
What can I say but, ABSOLUTELY AWESOME tutorial!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Blessings to you child.
This was a wonderful tutorial.This bag looks very sturdy as well as stylish. This pattern is useful for many many types of activities. Every time you said the word pukers(sp) it made me laugh. Thank you for your excellent presentation. Sincerely Bobbie from Silver Spring, Maryland.
I love your tutorials. So easy to follow and encouraging.
Awww…thank you for the kind comment and thanks for watching.
Thank you! Great bag and great tutorial! It's very generous of you to give the pattern away for free.
You are welcome! Enjoy!
I made this bag from indoor /outdoor fabric and quilting cotton. I customized the pockets so I no longer have to dig for things like my Epi-pen or inhaler. My phone is easy to grab. I plan to make more, minus the measuring mistakes. Thank you so much!
What a beautiful bag. I am totally amazed that you could sew through all of those fabrics. So Well explained! Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you Rosie! So very generous of you to share both the pattern and the tutorial 😊😊
Thank you so much fir this great bagpattern and also the wonderful detailed video. It’s a great bag! And i really enjoy watching you sew and explain everything
Thank you and you are welcome. I hope you give it a try.
Thank you so much for not only a great pattern but the excellent video tutorial!
Thank you and you are welcome!
I’m so happy this video popped up this morning when I needed it most…I’m looking to create Messenger bags as gifts and here you are👍🏼🥰
Thank you for sharing this.
You are so welcome! I am glad to hear that you would like to make the messenger bag. Thanks for watching!
Great video. I'm a visual learner & it really helps. Thanks.
Me too!! Give me a pattern to read, I'm clueless.. i learn how to do everything by watching someone else...
Thank you. I am glad the video is helpful. Patterns can be hard to read.
Thank you for making this great video. What I liked the most is that it is all in one video. I had to stop and when I signed in again, it picked up where I stopped. I am definitely going to make this bag as my first bag. Info: The duck canvas is on sale at the moment.
Glad you enjoyed it! I always like to hear when people are making the projects. Have fun making the bag and thanks for watching!
I loved this tutorial and bag. I was looking for a more challenging bag with new skills for me and I found it. I liked the covered D rings and many pockets. Great teaching! Thanks Rosie.
You are very welcome. I am glad you like the bag and thanks for watching!
Thank you for this, very beautiful pattern and bag. You are very generous, such an intricate bag that you have offered for free. I definitely look forward to making this.
Thank you and you are welcome. I would love to see pics on your bag. You can post them on my FB page which is Rosie’s Art Studio. Enjoy!
Just finished making this awesome bag. I cut carefully and used less than a yard of waxed canvas and a little over a yard and a half of lining fabric. Thanks so much for the pattern and tutorial.
Rosie this is a great video. I made this bag last July for a trip to a convention. I still use it for the group meeting each week. I loved it so much that I needed a bag for a different life group, so I just finished making a second one. All together it took me an average of 3 days work to finish it. I love it and may even make a 3rd one for my traveling scrap booking supplies.
As soon the company you linked us to has waxed canvas in stock again, I will be making your pattern. You are a great instructor.
i love your teaching method.
Especially around the curves. I have the biggest trouble with that
Thank you and I am glad the video is helpful to you.
Superb tutorial can’t wait to sew this bag . Thank you Rosie you’ve worked so hard making the pattern and also explaining things brilliantly xx
Thank you for your very kind comments. Have fun sewing the bag!
Thank you for your careful detailed work. You go slowly and carefully and with attention to detail which has really helped me. Everyone else I watch seems to hurry which made me feel inadequate. So now I am much more confident. Thank you again and a very happy 2022 to you and yours.
Loved your video, precise instructions. Personally, I would add an inset zipper at the top to close up the bag. Too many experiences with stuff falling out of my bags...LOL. Appreciate your generosity; don’t see that very often. A big kudos to you!!
Thank you so much for your very kind comments! You can easily add a zippered closure to the top. I carry my bag everyday and have not had any problems with anything falling out and I think it is because the bag is fairly deep. Have fun making yours!
Wow Rosie, thank you for your pattern and instruction, I’ve never heard of waxed canvas. It turned out really great.
You are welcome. Waxed canvas is very nice to sew with. I hope you will give it a try.
Rosie's Art Studio I’m definitely going to give it a try because of your great complete tutorial, you teach so well. You speak so clearly what you are doing and why. Thanks again for your free pattern and tutorial. I’m originally a Hoosier for 50 years. Now in Texas
I love this bag. It's probably the best I've seen as far as doing exactly what I need it to do. I had hoped to interest my husband in it as he really needs a good carry-on bag. (Being optimistic that we'll be able to travel again someday.) He says it's still too girly for him to carry. I'll keep looking for one for him. Meanwhile, I'm off to see more of your videos.
Perhaps if you found one of those patches that guys put on their jackets or if you found a camouflage waxed canvas. Hope this helps.
@@maryblaylock6545 Thanks for the ideas Mary. I even offered to do it in denim with flannel lining. still too girly for him. WAY too much Y chromosome. at least he has agreed to look at patterns/styles and find something he'd be willing to carry. I can probably construct whatever he would be willing to carry from all of the youtube videos I have watched. I just don't want to try to sew leather but I'm afraid that's the only thing he'll find "manly" enough. he has quite a few meds he needs to carry and, although we've never had lost baggage, it could still happen. what do we do then? that's my question to him.
@@maryblaylock6545 btw, he is 66 years old so kind of "stuck in his ways".
I am glad you like the bag. You can make it morel masculine by adding some leather accents. A lot of bags for men are made with waxed canvas with leather trim. You can get ideas by googling man bags.
Hi Rosie. Thank you so much for sharing your pattern and you've done an amazing job of explaining the process. I followed your instructions and I sewed the bag and it's amazing. I am in love with the bag, it is so awesome. I had been searching for a bag like this for some time but couldn't find anything that I liked. That was before I came across your video. I couldn't find waxed canvas so I used a normal fabric and fused some interfacing to make it a bit more sturdy and I'm happy to say that it worked. Thank you so much, Rosie.
I always love it when people tell me they have made one of my projects. Thank you for your kind comments and for watching! Enjoy your bag!!
This looks amazing, just printed it out and Im going to give it a go! Thank you so much for the pattern and video!
Thank you and you are welcome. I would love to see your bag. You can post a pic of it on my FB page Rosie’s Art Studio.
WOW! This is a fabulous bag! Thank you so much for the free pattern excellent tutorial. I will be using many of your tips and techniques on future projects. I am excited to follow your channel!

I like that you give your stitch length.
I’m try to give as much info as possible.
@@RosiesArtStudio You certainly saved us a lot of guess work as to stitch length. Bless you!
Thank you so much. Very kind of you to share this bag. Your explanation and teaching method is wonderful. Thank you again.
You are so welcome!
Just found your channel!.... Greetings from this Canadian Chickadee!....you had my attention.... by the picture alone!... "STUNNING!!"... THANKS for sharing!
Thank you for your kind comment and thanks for watching!
G'day Rosie, thank you for a fantastic tutorial.
It is by far the best one I've seen on CZcams for a messenger bag.
I sincerely appropriate all the effort you put in.
Having watched it, I've decided that when I make mine, after cutting everything out, but before construction, I'll scrunch up the waxed canvas and flatten it out, to give it an aged look.
Your bag is amazing.
Thank you again.
Regards, Karen
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I love waxed canvas and how it gets that wonderful aged look. Have fun making your bag.
Great tutorial, Thank you! I used waxed canvas and cork for the flap. I love how my bag turned out. This is my go-to pattern for making messenger bags! Thank you again!
Fantastic bag and free! Thank you so much for your kindness!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
So intense and detailed instructions, Good Job. It looks great, I would put closures on the flap.
What a fantastic tutorial with sewing this bag. I’m very excited to see this. Thank you!!!!!!
You explained everything so well I feel this I can make this bag even with the lining Tfs
I am glad you like the instructions.
That is the bag I am always been looking for! Great video and a great construction! currently I am working on the bag. Thank you very much for the clear and precise description. Have a great week!
I am glad that you are making the bag. Have fun with it. I love mine.
Oh my gosh, how cute and clever are you?! I actually stumbled upon you when I was looking for tutorials on the Swoon Carter Messenger Handbag for which I had just purchased the pattern; now I'm saying with great conviction, and lament, that I wish I'd found you beforehand. Just between us, I much prefer your messenger bag to their version. ; ) Please, keep sharing your beautiful mind and creativity with us!
Thank you for your very kind comments. The Swoon Carter Bag is also a very nice bag, but more of a handbag than a messenger bag. I actually did a YT tutorial on the Carter in cork fabric and it turned out very nicely.
very nice pattern, not that it was really needed, but in the middle of the i pad pocket I added a piece of velcro to keep it more secure . I also added some snaps to the flap.
I am glad to hear you made the bag. Adding the Velcro is a nice idea. I have made one with magnetic snaps on the flap as well. Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I really appreciate your time to create this video.
Thanks for watching!
So grateful for this pattern and tutorial!!!
Have fun with it!
Hi Rosie! Thank you for this beautiful bag pattern and instructional video. My all time favorite purse design is where there is a zippered wallet pocket attached to the front of the bag. I find I lose wallets, but when there is a zippered pocket on the outside of the purse I don’t forget to put my card away either. Would you consider making an instructional video with this feature?
I actually have been thinking about designing a bag like the one you describe, so you may see one one of these days.
Thank you for your incredible attention to detail! I appreciate you taking the time to share such a gorgeous pattern. Sometimes I couldn't tell which side was right/wrong of the duck cloth. I'll be using jeans or tweed blazers for my fabric so I got confused since the duck cloth looks similar on both sides. I'll make a prototype and mark the sides so I can correctly and expertly make a bag like yours 😊❤😊 THANK YOU 👍🏽
Sew fun! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us! And THANK YOU for the pattern!
You are welcome. Enjoy!
Can't wait to make this, looks amazing! Thanks for the detailed pattern and tutorial!
Thank you for you kind comment. If you make the bag, I would love to see some pics. I have a FB group where you can share and you can find us here: facebook.com/groups/184663700298519.
Thanks for watching!
You are so generous, God bless you and your family....
You are so kind! Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
I’ve watched a weeks worth of tutorials looking for a denim messenger bag. You are by far the best teacher on CZcams. Thank you. Would you say this pattern is denim friendly? What changes would you make. I’m assuming fusible fleece and no decoville (so)
Thank you, Rosie! I always love watching your tutorials. You are very informative and clear when you do these for us and just wanted you to know I appreciate your time to do this for us and thank you again for the pattern, I can't wait to make one!
You are so welcome! I am glad you are enjoying the videos and I hope that you make the bag. I use mine everyday and love it.
Excellent instruction! This would be intimidating without the tutorial, and I am an experienced seamstress. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for this pattern. Just ordered my wax canvas and can’t wait to begin your seams are so even. I have such a hard time cutting the material. Just can never seem to have things match. But I’m working on it ! If you were to put a closure on it what would you recommend? Thank you for being so generous in these crazy times we are living in. This will surely keep us very busy. Be safe 💕
Carpenters have a saying...measure twice, cut once. I try to remember that when I am cutting out my pieces, but I still mess up sometimes. For a closure, I would use thumb (press) locks or magnetic snaps. I have already made a couple with the thumb locks. Just take your time making the bag and you will do fine. I have had to learn to enjoy each step of the process and not race through steps I do not like. Sewing is a process...not a race. Have fun with it.
Thanks Rosie for a great pattern and your a awesome teacher your great with all details. Can you tell me where you purchase your zipper by the foot? Thanks again
What a great pattern and tutorial! Thank you so much! Your videos are always so well explained. :)
Thank you. I am glad you like the video.
Thank you. This was a great project and your instructions were wonderful.
You are welcome. I am glad you like the project and thanks for watching!
Hi ...New subscriber here 🙂 .. I think you are absolutely amazing at explaining...just finished cutting out all of the pieces to make this bag ...thankyou xx
I am so glad to hear you are making the bag. if you would like, you can join my FB group here: facebook.com/groups/184663700298519. I would love to see pics of your finished bag. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for such a wonderful pattern and video instructions.

Wonderful tutorial 🥰
Thank you for sharing this awesome bag tutorial🙏🏻❤️
You’re welcome 😊. I am glad you like the project and thanks for watching.
Thankyou !!! stay safe!! bless.
You are welcome! You stay safe as well.
Fabulously clear instructions, thank you so much for the pattern too, can’t wait to make this bag. Xx
You r a great instructor. Ty for sharing
Thank you for your very kind comment and for watching!
I love all the wonderful details! I've been looking around at bsg patterns, trying to decide what all I wanted in a bag. This is the best all around bag I've found yet, and it's free. Thank you so much!
Thank You I love the instructions
Thank you and you are welcome!
cute bag ty for the pattern
Thank you for the detailed instructions
You are welcome! Thanks for watching.
I just finished this wonderful bag using more of an upholstery weight fabric for the outside and quilt cotton for the interior. I didn't have Decovil so I used double sided Pellon foam for the divider and it worked quite well and fusible fleece for the front and back lining. I LOVE it!!! Is this something I can sell or are there restrictions?
So glad I found you! I am wanting to purchase your key fob pattern.
Looks like it might make a good diaper bag -- I think I'll try it! Thanks!
Yes, it would be a great diaper bag.
Hi Rosie. Thank you for sharing your excellent pattern and video.
I didn't think I could follow such a complex design and get a good result but I am 90% there having finished the exterior and just need to finish the interior lining/pockets etc and strap.
It looks amazing.. I used 20 oz waxed canvas which presented some challenges being so heavy but by making a few subtle changes I am nearly there. Keep up the fantastic work and thank you again. If I was to make any suggestion could I ask that you slow down the video at those points where you are flipping fabric/layers over as it can be hard to follow at times. I know I can slow down the video but that can be difficult on a tablet when you are trying to sew.
Best wishes.
Dave
Thank you for the free pattern and the video Rosie!
You are welcome!
