The pattern has too lengthy. It's also pricey for a download.

I spied this bag at a sewing class and talked at length with the woman who had made it. It was just perfect for carrying all the tools you need for an embroidery class. She emailed the link and I pounced on the chance to buy the instructions to make one of my own. Can't wait to make one of my own.

Turned out great. I am a beginning sewer and needed the videos ti figure some steps out.

Judith L.

I just love this bag. I did really well with each section. I did find getting the side bindings done nicely was difficult on the one bag I used the flex shape. Getting it to fold over & still let me get that rounded back piece nicely was tough. I did find that bias binding had less problems than straight grain binding. But this is a fantastic bag and a lot of fun to create. We are having a quilt guild challenge judging next week and I donated one of the bags for prize. I made 4 so far.

There’s no way on God’s green earth can I do this. One sentence… you have to be extremely accurate as it can’t be trimmed”. I trim a lot. This pattern is extremely well written n lots of pics n seller is awesome I’m 75 n just started making ByAnnie bags. I did the bionic bag in 2014 Too old to tackle this one❣️

Polly G.

Have not to finished reading the 60+ pages of instructions. It will be a while before I get to this project.

Here you have my "Sewing Room" when in my Van. Being on the road for 3 months I need everything at hand when I set up for a big sewing day and the BONZA with its extra size and the framing gives me "no roll" access. Thank you Sally!

Sigrid K.

Gosh, I wish I could find the time to make this wonderful bag. It's pretty much at the top of my list - but I just can't get to do it. But I found out it is a wonderful thing to have something fun and great to dream of and work on it in one's mind ... :) So, BONZA Bionic Gear Bag - one of these day's I'll be making you! ;)

Susan C.

Made my purchase for the new bonza pattern 2.0 money taken but unable to download item. Got on chat and was told join video! My friend tried on her account and website was down apparently as she couldn’t download either. Over a week later still waiting for download I’ve paid for!

Rebecca P.

I love this pattern. I used Soft and Stable for the outside and it worked out well. But I used the stiffest Peltex known to man because that was all I had. That was a mistake because I couldn't fold the bag down to sew the outside, where the pleats are, to the outer bag. So I had to attach that area and bind it by hand. Next time I will follow the instructions. Now on to the Dumpling Dish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Customer Service: Ordering, Discounts, Combining Orders, Shipping

Sew Like a Rock Star, LLC (SLARS) and Sew Much Nicer, LLC (SMN)

🎉 🎉 🎉 Especially to our new members🎉 🎉 🎉

🎉 🎉 🎉 Welcome & thank you for being part of our community. 🎉 🎉 🎉

The following does not apply to items made from Amazon, etc.

BACK ORDERS

We don't do them. Rarely, if a supplier does not fulfill our order for an item (happens with thread buys on SMN now and then), we will issue a refund for the item we could not supply to you.

COMBINING ORDERS

#1 reason to combine orders: Using two different coupon codes.
Second most popular reason: You forgot to order something.
Third most popular reason: You just checked out and then discovered we have another deal going on that you want to take advantage of.

Our software only allows one coupon code per order.

For any of the types of reasons stated above, you may place a second order and use any appropriate codes on the subsequent orders so you will be able to take advantage of any current discounts for other products.

📌 Working within the constraints of the software, shipping is charged by the best guess the software can make. When orders are combined, sometimes that causes shipping to also go up - according to increase in package size or weight, obviously. Please keep that in mind.

📌 IMPORTANT: You MUST place any orders you would like to have us consider to combine into one package within ONE HOUR of each other. NO EXCEPTIONS!

  The reason for this: We have a policy, especially important during crazy busy sales, etc, to ALWAYS wait until an order is at least one hour old before our team packs it. This gives YOU time to take advantage of multiple sales, promotions, etc.

  Colorado orders: Your order will be taxed at our location in Douglas County. If you do not agree with this, please do not order

COUPON CODE USAGE❗️ ❗️❗️ Confused ❓ ❓ ❓
We may offer different discounts for different groups of people... or on different product lines, events, or downloads at the same time.

Coupon Codes MUST be entered at the time of purchase - NO EXCEPTONS. Be sure to review your order and verify your order total is correct before making payment.

On that note, we STRONGLY DISCOURAGE the use of Paypal's "One Click" / "Fast Checkout" option! Many customers seem to miss entering their coupon codes because of this and it makes a terrible mess to correct!!!

Our software only allows one coupon code per order. See "Combining Orders" for a way to always "beat the system" 😁

GIFT CARDS

The system will allow you to use more than one gift card on an order.
Gift cards are valid for five years. No cash refunds on gift cards.

ITEM DESCRIPTIONS

Please read them!

RETURNS

All sales final on all goods.

ROD PRICING at shop.sewmuchnicer

Some rods may already be at a special price and not eligible for VIP discounts, sales, etc. Please read the descriptions for the items carefully.

SHIPPING OVERAGES

Our software does the best guess it can - but different items need bigger boxes, and combining also may result in over paying. Shipping overages of $3 or more will be credited back to your account by a gift card to be used on future orders. These are processed about once a week. Watch your email for it. No refunds are given on shipping.

THREAD

SMN never stocks thread. Ever. The only time orders are accepted for thread are during our "buys". Be sure to get on our email list and watch your emails for these special events.
.
VIP PRICING
VIPs get deep discounts every day on most items at SMN and many other perks. To become a VIP, check out the shop.sewlikearockstar.com store.

What makes our projects better!

Hey!

THANK YOU for taking some time to be with us!

I bet you might be accustomed to just grabbing PDF patterns and then "toughing it out" when you sew, riiiiight?

Well, it's different here. Big time.

Everything you could possibly be looking for is on the home page of Sewing.School . Can't find something, jump on Telegram and ask in the public channel. Someone will come running to help.

There are a few things the tribe of Rock Star Sew-Land SHINE at:

1. We can do anything. Forget that "beginner, intermediate, expert" jargon. I believe that any project can be done with craftsmanship if the right tools are being used for the job -and- the sewist can kick back, relax, and just focus on one seam at a time.

One. Seam. At a time. <--- Who can't do that?

That is all a whole lot easier to accomplish if she can SEE it done first. We're not a PDF site - we're a teaching/community site.

2. Our projects are broken down into bite size pieces. It's easy to take in the information that you need to see... and it's equally simple to skip over a lesson that you may not need to see. This is why we feel we do a great job at teaching for all skill levels. We at least try to do our best for you! ❤️

3. Basics - many videos are available that are extra helpful to newbies.

4. If you stumble, we have amazing help and support! From our Telegram project & chat channels, to our Amazing VIP Membership , and to our well - staffed support desk... nobody can say there isn't help for them. The trick? Reach out before you get frustrated! We want everyone to enjoy your time with us.

5. While we all come together because of sewing, in our tribe, "Sewing is just the excuse that brings us all together." If you give this group a chance, you're likely to meet some mighty amazing people that will become lifetime friends. We truly are here for each other.

6. Relax! Enjoy! There's no judgments. Just support. Doesn't matter your age, experience, skill level... we think it's great you're sewing!

So, if this is your first foray into trying out one of our projects, we hope you will take advantage of the video portions, too! You'll find we have a great time - and there's always room for one more to enjoy the community we have going on while you achieve new levels of enjoyment and craftsmanship in your finished project.

Thanks for looking at this - I hope we meet in our live sessions!

-Sally and her Rock Star Team
