The snaps are facing the correct way. They just don't seem strong enough to hold when they have a couple layers of fabric over them. I thought about using the ones that you just push thru the fabric and them bend the tabs over. I think that's what I should have done.
Grey Lady, I think this is gonna be a one and done for me, too. I haven't enjoyed it and am wishing I'd just taken a pattern I already had and adapted it.
