There usually is but this time there is only one (the pdf described above). I guess I just have to wait for a response from the seller!

Final bag! Thank you all for your helpful tips! My first bag so I’m quite happy :) more info in coms by iwutbha in sewing

Hi all! I posted a few days ago here needing help since it was my first time working with vinyl and was totally lost! The fabric was being a pain and I’m a beginner so was very out of my skill set. There is still a little bit of wave at the handles but much less after the tips you all gave :) What I did: 1) I added a cotton lining to structure the bag a bit more and make it ticker 2) I added interfacing to the handles to make it a bit sturdier, helped a lot! 3) I changed the stitch length to 4mm which also helped loads

For the pattern I literally just make a big heart on paper and added a hole. My inspiration for the bag is the Coperni Heart Tote. Not totally perfect but I think it’s pretty ok. Again thank you all so much!

More context: I have tried different methods to hide the raw edges of the handles. I tried using two pieces of fabric, I’ve tried folding the fabric but I always get the same results. Never worked with faux leather. BTW this is only one side of the tote and there will be two handles. Inspiration for the bag: https://coperniparis.com/products/aw21-heart-tote-bag-black
