Nice pattern! Thanks. Just a small question: is it possible to add the small bag in front of the style 1 bag to the style 2?
Hi.. thank you!! The front panels of both styles are of different sizes. You could try printing the Style 1 front panel and the pockets at a smaller scale (about 85%) and adjust to fit.
