I am so glad you posted key4unc. I bought the book last night cause some times I can't wait to finish a project and it looked easy. ebook was $5.95 anyway read the instructions and was wondering why she wanted you to zigzag the edges after the seam allowance. So now I know. The patter is vary eazy looking but looks like it would use alot of fabric and have a lot of scraps after.
