This is a planning reference for original sewing pattern store. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional original adult tote-bag sewing pattern: finished bag approximately 350 mm wide×380 mm high, using two 370×420 mm body panels and two 100×600 mm handle strips, with stated10mmseam allowance and top-fold instructions. Prototype and pattern fit must be checked before sale; no child or rated-load use.
A draft to adapt before sending
I am preparing an original adult tote pattern with full cutting dimensions, illustrated10mmseams and a print-scale square. I can share the finished specification and licence once the prototype and tiled print are verified.
This is an unsent draft. Replace placeholders and assumed prices, confirm the actual scope and remove any claim you cannot support. No prospect was contacted for this example.
