(I didn't do the inside lining exactly like the pattern suggested.)Renaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10930260405339838511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299918664756105326.post-89950606124778385372013-03-22T09:48:54.738-05:002013-03-22T09:48:54.738-05:00I am so glad you wrote this ~ thank-you!

I would like to make another, but I remember how much swearing I did while making the one I currently use... and how long it sat in the closet, partially completed due to frustration!<br /><br />I had a really difficult time doing the top stitching near the zipper... but that was the least of my problems. hahaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197374842992761751noreply@blogger.com
