I just discovered your channel, and love it. Signed up for your newsletter and received access to the free pdf of the craft bag (love it too). Can you tell me what size needle and the weight of the thread that you use? My husband and I will be getting a new printer tomorrow so I can print off the pattern. I’m looking forward to buying fabric (always) and sewing it. Keep up the great patterns and tutorials.

This is great. Do you have a suggestion on one of your other bags that might be a little bit smaller that this would be a good idea for? I have your minikins 1 + 3 I believe so it would be nice if I could try this on one of those.
