( this wasn't obvious until i'd already cut 2/3 of the fabric according to their directions.) i tried to find matching fabric at a local fabric store to no avail--ended up buying totally unrelated fabric to try to cobble something together. i contacted the company that packaged it, and after two weeks have had no satisfaction, and no satisfying response.) i long for the days of their full fabric department. and i'll never bother to buy one of their kits again, either-- more trouble than it was worth--and it's still unfinished. didn't need another UFO, right now...
