[Kaderin Triste]

Am getting frustrated while reading through a bag pattern I want to make because it includes a mesh pocket, which I want to omit because I mainly want the bag to be a travel bag for my loom knit stuff and the loom pegs will just snag/tear the mesh, but I literally can't tell if leaving it out will cause problems with overall assembly of the bag.

The only part listed as "optional" in the actual pattern is the exterior bag flap, which is just barely big enough to cover the zipper.

I hate being a visual learner sometimes. It makes patterns so much harder to use.
Like, I can wing it and hope I succeed, but flying blind especially on big projects makes me exceptionally anxious and unlikely to finish it.
