SPLASH Bundle
“I just finished making a small SplashOUT backpack for my niece and it was one of the most rewarding sewing projects. In Complete Stitches patterns are second to none in the quality and detail of the instructions, especially considering there are so many options for customisation included. This was a challenging sew but I learned so much and now I want to add piping and lofted interfacing to all my bag projects. Such a polished finish!”

“Großartige Nähanleitung, die ich sehr gut verstanden habe. Auch unabhängig vom Video sehr gut zu verstehen. Und das obwohl ich nicht muttersprachlich englisch spreche. Ich werde sicher noch die ein oder andere Apex Tasche nähen. Vor allem die kleinen lassen sich gut verschenken. Die Handtasche benutze ich für die Arbeit. In der Standard Größe haben bereits Wasserflasche, Akten, Brotdose und Buch genügend Platz. Wirklich geräumig!”
