Lacks info
This is a cute project and I will try it. However, it would be nice to know what the finished size measurements are. The PDF prints out a pattern that is 8.75" x 7" which is quite small, it wouldn't even accomodate a plate! There is no 'scale' marking on the pattern either. Please fix these issues to make this a more desirabe project.

Cute little project
I am looking forward to trying this free project. Generally, the directions are fairly straightforward and appear easy to follow. However, no mention is made of how and where to place the velcro or snap closure, nor are there any marks on the pattern for their placement.
