This is an exact copy of the original vintage pattern and as such may retain any original errors or miscalculations in formatting native to the original pattern. While I have made up some of these patterns, I have not tested them all out and cannot attest to their accuracy or perfect fit. As with all garment construction, it is best to make a mock-up for fitting in test fabric prior to cutting and constructing with your final fashion fabric.

Great pattern, overall simple and fun as a great quick project if you're not doing the beading! This pattern doesn't offer a traditional step by step directions with photos, but it does a decent job explaining how to assemble everything. While the PDF offers the option to print all 4 sections, I only printed 1 of the sections (the first 4 pages I believe) since they were all the same and just used that to cut out all of my fabrics. I used an embroidered silk for my outer layer and I didn't attempt the beading, but it still came together beautifully. It's also larger than I realized. I was able to easily fit my wallet, iPhone, gloves and touch up makeup into it with room to spare. Also if you're a sci-fi geek, we realized it also looks a bit like one of the Xenomorph eggs from Alien!
