    Dotty I LOVE the navy one in particular...did you have an exact pattern for that and how long a zipper did you use?

    I like these and zippers are really a fashion statement this year. Can't wait to make one.

    None of the tutorials I looked at were as nice as your roses. Could you please tell us how you go the petals to look so nice? A tutorial would be great!

    I feel uncomfortable posting another artist's step by step instructions. She sells her stuff on Etsy or at least she did winter 2008. I'll have to check her out. The instructions are no longer on the Martha Stewart site.
