  1. Nice tutorial, thanks. But the measurement as stated here in inches, we used to measure in centimetres, it’s very unusual and uncomfortable. Not everyone who’ reading this blog is american. At least you could mention..

  2. Is the #7 HOBO TOTE BAG pattern still available? The link seems to be broken. I was actually in search of a tote bag pattern called the NIKKI TOTE bag available on ETSY in 2011 but is no longer available. The Hobo Tote Bag is very similar, and now I am unable to access this one.
    Please let me know if you know of patterns for either of these two totes.
