Makes a nice change to not have to make 3 or 4 draft versions while I make changes here and there until I'm happy with the final version. Pattern drafting is a long process &#8211; I did an article some time back now about the Carry All Bag and <a title=\"How a sewing pattern is born\" href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/sewing-pattern-born\/\">what goes on behind the scenes<\/a> to get a bag from idea to published pattern. Hint- its a lot of work!<\/p>\n<p>Plus, by sewing other people's patterns, I can often pick up new tips and tricks, discover new materials or new ways of doing things that I'd not considered before. This can only help in the development of my own patterns.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14764\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14764\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14764 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/glendacover-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"Image courtesy of Swoon Patterns\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/glendacover-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/glendacover-400x400-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/glendacover-400x400-150x150.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 400\/400;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14764\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14764\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/glendacover-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"Image courtesy of Swoon Patterns\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/glendacover-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/glendacover-400x400-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/glendacover-400x400-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/noscript><p id=\"caption-attachment-14764\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy of Swoon Patterns<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This week I sewed the <a href=\"http:\/\/swoonpatterns.com\/shop\/glenda-convertible-clutch\/?swn=243\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glenda Convertible Clutch Bag<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/swoonpatterns.com?swn=243\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Swoon Patterns<\/a>. \u00a0This pattern is described as:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>&#8221;\u00a0This versatile clutch converts quickly into a shoulder bag with its removable strap.
