Janet Maroni (VP) has kits for the bag for $22.00 she will probably have them @ the meeting Wednesday night. She did a work shop on them on July 31st. I just looked at my mom's and did it. BUT mine is a tad smaller because I didn't have a full yard of the fabric I wanted to use. LOL :D

Thanks everyone for your suggestions; I burn tested, then trimmed edges with a pinking sheer rotary blade and then washed and folder.........finally finished except for the clean up
