By Megan DeLancey

Hello everybody, Megan here. Thank you so much for wanting to try my pattern. This is the rst Ive tried my hand at pattern making. This being the case, Im not sure how easy this is to understand to anyone other than myself. If you run into problems, have questions, complaints, compliments, or corrections on the pattern, feel free to email me (pheonix_girl3@yahoo.com). I check that several times a day and would be happy to help as much as I can. Thank you again and good luck! Also, while Im thinking of it, I would really appreciate you not making money off of this pattern. Youre welcome to use it to make things for yourself or for friends, though!
