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:)
