    When you get to the second one they are a breeze! The first one I had some trouble with, but I didn't have that cool tute either! You can do it!!! And warning they are addictive!

    You are going to sew right sides together add the fusible web and turn it right side out. That was the hardest part!! Check out the tute I posted above for more help.

    Take a deep breath and repeat after me, "It's not rocket science, I can do this." Then grab your big-girl britches, yank 'em on and go for it. What's the worst thing that could possible happen? Okay, you might have to unsew a bit--learning curve and all. Are you really going to let a pattern and a few pieces of fabric get the better of you?
    Nah, I have confidence in you, you can do it.

    Just jump right in and give it a try. I was able to make mine with just a little ripping out, but I love it!

    Just keep reminding yourself - what's the worse that can happen? You sew something wrong and need to cut out another piece or start over. Nothing fatal. But I bet you will surprise yourself and do great. Share your pictures!
