Yes, I sell them now. I didn't intend to, but after making some for gifts, I couldn't stop-so since a few people who saw the ones I made wanted to buy them (I have sold 6 just from people seeing them!), I decided I would set up a booth at a local weekend market here and see how they go. My goal is to just make "pocket money" so I can keep buying fabric! Being retired for about 8 months of the year, I have the time (but on a very limited budget!) to keep making them-and I ENJOY it so much! I will try the weekend market in a couple weeks and see how I go. I have to pay $25.00 for the morning, but I don't think that is too much. I sell them from $35.00-$45.00, depending on the style. Most are $40.00. Thanks!!

Yep-that's the one! I found the instructions for cutting out the front a bit odd, but after making the second one, it made a bit more sense. The first one, the top opening was smaller, but doing it a different way, the second came out a few inches wider. Both look nice, but I prefer the wider opening at the top.
