The above link is for a pattern for one similar to the Betterware one, but the price might make it better to buy the betterware one and use it as a guide to make your own.

Just found out that the delivery charge for the Betterware one is £3.95, so that would make it nearly £8 - unless you can order directly from the door to door salesman if you have one.

I can have it delivered to the door but when i looked at it I thought it would be cheaper to make. its for me so doesnt have to be perfect!

Thanks again everyone. I think i can do my own little thing using that other pattern to get exactly what I want.

Hi guys ide love to make my own dresses but havent a clue. Do you know of any free courses in manchester to get me started, excited about learning. Jem

All, here is a link to hundreds of different patterns for various things (I think its one of these sites that combines stuff from loads of other sites so you might have seen some of the patterns before (scroll down on the page rather than clicking on any of the boxes and you will see the full list.)

Hi Jemima, have you tried your local council to see if there are any running? Found this on internet for you - you could maybe give them a call? Doesnt say when courses start and Im not sure whereabouts in Manchester you are. Phone number is 08452015940. Might not be up to date but you could give it a go. Otherwise if you google evening classes in Manchester you might find something else....Hope you find something!

Sorry, link not working (thanks gemsmember). The link is as below but it keeps removing some if it. click the link then in your browser replace the exclamation marks with the word angel fire (without any spaces, not with space in middle.)

Would just like to say thank you to all who have listed any bag orientated links!:T

Tete, love your skirt!

Also do you think it is a bad idea to make a peg bag for my MIL for Mother's Day? She is currently using an old plastic bag.

Did my link work now? Think its blocked from pasting on other sites for fear of spam or something.

Scoobs I think that's a lovely thoughtful Mother's Day pressie if she's using an old carrier! I think everyone loves a pretty peg bag!
