Lickety Split Bag Pattern PDF

It’s finally here (and miracle of miracles, it made it before the baby)!
The Lickety Split Sewing Pattern PDF is now available for instant download! Yaaaay!

: : DESCRIPTION : :

This pattern is for the Lickety Split Bag previously featured here on my blog; it is reversible and can be easily sewn in just a few hours (or less!). It’s so versatile you’ll find yourself using it for everything: a book bag, shopping bag, stroller bag, diaper bag, and more! The four pockets are optional (and super-handy for keys, phones, or water bottles), and the adjustable tie strap allows you to get the perfect fit. It can be sewn on a regular machine or a serger.

: : YOU WILL NEED : :

• 1 yard of quilting cotton for each side of the bag (or less; the amount of fabric you use depends on how you position the pattern pieces, which depends on how the design is printed on the fabric)
• ric-rac or other trim for pockets (optional)

: : PATTERN INCLUDES : :

• Detailed step-by-step instructions
• Color photographs to augment instructions
• Hand-drawn summary sheet of instructions (a cheat sheet if you will...this is totally campy but totally me)
• Complete set of full-sized pattern pieces (attach together before cutting)

: : HOW DOES INSTANT DOWNLOAD WORK? : :
When you click on the "Buy Now" button, you will be brought to a payment page so you can pay with Paypal or a credit/debit card through Paypal. Once you make your payment, there will be a button that you will click to download the pattern AND you will receive an email with a download link. These links expire, so make sure you get your download right away!

For those with little experience downloading and printing PDF files, I would suggest a test download with one of the free patterns on my blog (see left sidebar) before purchase to make sure you have the correct software. A recent version of Adobe Reader is recommended.

: : VERSIONS AVAILABLE : :

Pattern Only ($6)

Purchase this version if you will use the pattern for yourself or for gifts for others (i.e. no profit, for personal use only).

Pattern + License to Sell ($12)

Purchase this version if you plan to use the pattern for yourself and would like to have the option to sell bags from the pattern. Small-scale handmade sales only; one license for each person who makes/sells the bags. For personal and limited commercial use only. You also will have the option to be listed here on the blog as a licensed Lickety Split Bag Vendor.

Note: License alone will cost $8 (not available yet), so it's really a bargain to buy the package.


: : OTHER STUFF : :

Thanks and a Giveaway
Special thanks to Andrea, my good friend, fellow blogger, and sewing extraordinaire who reviewed the pattern for me and is giving away a Lickety Split Bag! Go to her blog for more details on the Giveaway!

What about Etsy?
For those who are interested in purchasing the pattern through Etsy instead, please contact me (see email on left sidebar) and I will put up a listing for you as soon as I can. Because Etsy takes a portion of each sale and I have to personally email the PDF to you, the pattern will cost a dollar more ($7 for pattern, $13 for pattern + license) if purchased in this manner. Also, since I have a toddler and a life (sortof...), the pattern will be emailed to you within 24 hours, not instantly.

Pardon my dust
I have worked so hard on this pattern and getting the instant downloads to work smoothly and properly, but as you might expect, problems can and will arise no matter how much testing you do ahead of time. Would you please let me know if you find mistakes, if something is unclear, or if I could make something better? I really appreciate your patience as I get all the glitches worked out.
