:D :D :-D The pattern is Butterick 4371. I found it at the Goodwill for 19 cents. Be careful when making the pockets as I had cut out the back first and the pockets ended up being too long or the backing or too short on the side. but you can make the pockets and mark where they go and then cut the fabric to match up with the sides. That's what I did. The backing on the pattern are curved at the corners. It also is a quilty, but I used these two fabrics as they are sturdy and her shoes will be no problem with it. I lined the pockets with regular fabric. It also calls for double fold bias binding for the edges, but like I said, I birthed it instead of taking the time to make bias binding. I didn't like the curved corners either. Any way, it's a good pattern to follow, but you can fix it so the pockets will fit so I would make those first and them making sure all three pockers are the same size, then cut the backing to fit the pockets. Enjoy, Huggies, Fay

:-) :-) :-) Birthing is when you sew some thing right sides together for turning. Say a baby quilt for an example. When you finsh the quilt you sew it to the backing right sides together leaving an opening for turning. Then you stick your hand in side and pull out the project and it is like birthing a baby . A new project is comming to life and then you poke out the corners ,sew the opening and tie the quilt. I think that's why they call it birthing as it is like a new project comming to life. have a great day, Huggies, Fay
