This listing is for a complete bag making kit for the bag we're making for the May 2025 pattern challenge. It's the APEXcarry tote by In Complete Stitches. The kit DOES NOT include the pattern, which you will need buy directly from In Complete Stitches.

Please note this kit is for the standard size APEXcarry pattern by In Complete Stitches. The pattern also includes an 'oversize' option but this kit doesn't include enough fabric for the oversize version.
The value of the contents of this kit is over £99.

A few notes from us:
We created the zipped closure version of this pattern.
We added S133 Ultra Firm Stabiliser to the base of this pattern, to give it a firm base. That is not included in the pattern but is included in this kit.
We used 25mm (1") webbing for all the straps. The pattern says you can use 40mm webbing for the carry straps but we opted to use 25mm for all the straps.

We recommend that you obtain proof of postage or tracking when returning your items as we can’t guarantee receipt of your order.
To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase. The simplest way to provide this is to reply to the original order confirmation email. To qualify for a refund, your products must be returned unused and in a re-saleable condition. Once we’ve inspected the returned items, we’ll refund you within 14 days. The refund will be processed to the same payment source used for purchase. In certain circumstances, we will only grant a partial refund. This includes where any item is not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error, or any item that is returned more than 30 days after delivery.
When you cancel or return your order, we incur costs that are not refunded to us such as payment processing fees and postage costs. As a small business, these costs negatively impact us so please check measurements and read product details thoroughly before purchasing.

If you believe an item is missing, please check the packaging thoroughly and unpack your entire order. We like to do our bit to help the planet and that means reducing packaging and space.
