This pattern is a lot of fun!
I really enjoyed making this as a gift for my mother who loves Humpback whales. I am planning to make more for gifts this year.

Wirklich eine super tolle Anleitung! Man wird Schritt für Schritt dadurch geleitet. Jedes Detail wird genau beschrieben. Z.B. steht da nicht nur einfach Reißverschluss einsetzen oder ähnliches, sondern ganz genau worauf man achten muss. Das Ergebnis ist toll geworden und wird bald zum Schulanfang meines Enkels verschenkt. Vielen Dank für die Anleitung, kann ich uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen:)

war sehr entäuscht
Hallo, die erste Anleitung von der ich Total enttäuscht wurde. Sehr umständlich - drei Näherinnen versuchten ihr glück und keiner war zufrieden. Finde den Handschuh auch viel zu eng. Verwendet wird keiner. Schade

Habe leider bisher noch nicht umgesetzt. Denke für gebrauchte Jeans (Upcycling) genau richtig.

gute Anleitung
Je mehr Mühe man sich gibt und ordentlich arbeitet umso schöner wird der Untersetzer. Gut um Reste zu verarbeiten. Jeder hat so eine Kiste mit Resten, es können auch noch z.B. Glitzersteinchen aufgeklebt werden....
