I ordered this advanced DIY kit in a custom colour and was very happy with the communication and service from Fiona through WhatsApp. Every detail was checked and double checked before being dispatched to me. The kit arrived and the only thing that has prevented me from beginning the project is the sewing holes. I asked for the holes to be pre punched as is possible in the sales detail for the custom kits. Fiona told me that the holes would be marked but I would need to use the tool to make the holes big enough for sewing and I accepted this. However, when the kit arrived only a couple of pieces of leather have any kind of markings on them. The instruction video does not refer to the punching of the holes and there is no template to use to make sure you are putting the holes in the correct place. From my previous experience of making one of the less advanced bag kits, I know that the accuracy of hole placement is crucial. So I have not started because I do not want to get it wrong and ruin the kit, and I can’t really figure out how to make sure I punch the holes in the correct place. If it wasn’t for this detail my review would be 5 stars.
First kit for me and I had a great time making this beauty. Made a couple of small mistakes on the way, but noticed in time to correct them. I'm delighted with the finished product and have already ordered more kits. Looks very professional and I can't wait to use the bag x
Very happy with my new bag. I already ordered some other kits . The bottom of this one to make was a challenge. The first time it didnt go well. It gets a little better now, but still has to improve. The leather is great and the bag is also great to use. Thanks popsewing!
Received so many compliments from both friends and strangers- the (hand made option) bag is gorgeous and the leather quality is striking. Love it!
