My bag didn’t turn out & I don’t know where I messed up. When I turn the bag inside out, the zipper is sewn inside the bag. How can I fix this? Please help — I’d like to leave a better review than this.

Hi Janice, We're sorry to hear you your bag didn't turn out correctly; it can be tricky to sew things inside out. Short of starting over completely or seam ripping all your threads, you may just want to trim all your sewn edges away allowing you to start fresh with slightly smaller pattern pieces. Remember, you can pause and rewind as many times as you need to to triple check the steps. I hope your next attempt is successful!
