    I sent one out this month to my secret pal. I been making the medium size.If I can help you let me know. Really they aren't hard to make.I hot glued the ruffle around the bottom. It said to sew it. Also The weight of the cardboard I used is like a tissue box.Or the kind in a shirt.This weight of board seems to have just enough stiffness yet it gives a little to make the chair curve just slightly. Good luck. I made one that is white and has 1" black sewing scissors on the fabric.Watch the direction of your fabric if using a print.Sorry didn't mean to go on and on. Mary
    Thanks Mary for the info. I've been saving all those fat quarter card board inserts from Joann's hoping to find something to use them for. I think those should work. I've got so many of them...lol I'm always saving things to recycle them.

    I think the bench has much more room than last month. I'm not talking because we've been on diets either!

    I'm off the bench today and it was so worth the wait. Cannyquilter sent a great squishy with wonderful things from over the pond. I love international swapping because you get cool things you normally don't see. It had several fabulous handmade items and even some rashers for the pups. Thanks for a great secret pal swap!

    Wow that is so much better to see such a short list. I know it's still not fun for those that have to wait, but we are getting better!
