The Rural Correspondent Bag PDF pattern has 16 pages – 9 pages including photographs, detailed step-by-step instructions and illustrations, plus 7 pages of full sized pattern templates which you must print on 8 1/2" x 11" letter size paper and cut out. All templates are actual size but two of the pieces are too big to fit on one sheet so you will have to tape them together after you have cut them out.
