    The pattern comes ready to print out on standard A4 paper OR you can also

    print on Letter or Foolscape simply by checking the "Disable shrink to fit" or

    similar in your printers settings.

    Please note that due to some variations between printers, occasionally it

    occurs that the printer may print the pattern untrue to scale which may affect

    the final quality of your finished bag if the variation is more than minor.

    To help avoid this, please print out the test squares on the next page to see

    how your individual printer is printing.

    Please ensure you check your printers setup or print handling prior to printing,

    to ensure that any available settings for Printing to scale or No Scale Or

    Print Scaling: None are checked.

    You may see Properties Print to scale: 100%. Check this.

    You may also see a setting Choose paper source by PDF page size Try

    checking this!

    I hope this helps to ensure your pattern prints correctly and you have troublefree assembly! If you are still having difficulty printing to scale, please contact

    me so a solution can be found!

    Enjoy your pattern! I would love to see a photo of your finished creation!

    Cheers and happy sewing,

    Features:

    The Cocois just right for a day out! It closes with a magnetic snap and has an inside slip

    pocket as well. Featuring grommets, piped handles with hooks and rivets too, nobody will

    believe you made it yourself!

    Finished bag size =33cmW X 11.5cmD X 20cmH.(13W X 4D X 8H)

    Pattern Notes

    All seam allowances are 6mm () unless otherwise stated. Right side = Front or patterned side of the fabric When joining 2 printed paper pattern pieces (where the pattern piece does not fit

    whole on one sheet of paper for printing) make sure that you line up the pattern

    pieces so that the join lines overlap to become one line. Tape together with sticky

    tape and cut. Easy!

    Fabric & Construction Suggestions

    For this bag I have used quilting weight fabrics and faux suede for the top band. *When making the

    straps it is much easier to sew the ends in place by making the interfacing shorter than the strap by

    3 on each end so this is how I have written the instructionshowever the pics show the straps fully

    interfaced.

    If you have a good machine, you may like to fully interface the strap. However if you are unsure of

    your machines capabilities, I suggest the shorter interfacing! This cut down on the bulk, which really

    helps if your machine baulks at a lot of thicknesses! I also riveted my straps to make them secure.

    For Hardware, please visit my Etsy Shop Here:

    https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChrisWDesigns?section_id=13437212I stock hardware kits for all my

    patterns BUT if you dont see the one for Coco or any others you need, pleasecontact meas I may

    just be waiting on some new stock to arrive!I also carry things like rivets, grommets and extra

    magnetic snaps etc.so please just let me know what you are looking for!

    TIP: If you dont like riveting or not keen on the piped straps, you can easily make this bag with flat

    straps instead. Just cut your straps at 5cm (2)wide instead. Fold them over and stitch in place with

    a boxed cross formation to secure and they will sit nicely flat! Note: The piped straps DOgather/bunch a little on the hooks eye. This is normal for this particular style of piped strap and not

    an error.

    How to make your bag -Preparation:

    Before you begin, I recommend you make yourself a nice hot cuppa, settle back in your favourite

    chair and READ through all of the instructions to get the bigger pictureand then follow them in

    order.

    1) Cutting Out:Cut the fabric, interfacing, fleece, Peltex & Template Plastic pieces as instructed. Where pattern

    pieces are cut on the fold you will need to take care to fold fabric etc before cutting.

    e) Topstitch the open pressed edges together along both short sides and the open long edge.f)

    Now we will complete the piped strap: Next fold your strap in half again and pin together toform a tube, leaving 7.5cm (3) open on each end. This part wont be stitched closed!

    g) Next stitch the strap sides together to form a tube, beginning and ending 7.5cm (3) fromeach end.

    h) Now insert the tubing into the strap.

    i) Maneuver the tubing so that it lies within the stitched tube of the strap and stitch each shortend closed to secure tubing inside. TIPS: When stitching the first seam across it is easier to

    push the tubing back out of the way somewhat. When stitching the second seam, you may

    like to use a zipper foot or set your needle as far over towards the tubing as you can get it, if

    your machine has this feature.

    j) Now taking one of your hooks, thread the end of the strap through and secure in place witha few stitches, back and forth. This is the point that may test your machine if you have

    interfaced your entire strap! If you Rivet your strap as well as stitch, it will be fine even if you

    dont manage to stitch this well!

    Repeat for the other end and add rivets to secure and for decoration! If you need help with setting

    rivets, please refer to my rivet tutorial on my blog here:

    http://blog.chriswdesigns.com/2011/03/how-to-install-rivets.html

    marks on the Inset to the notch marks on the body.
