"so I have looked EVERYWHERE for a pattern/template or tutorial for a zippered bottle koozie but cannot find any. I found all sorts of tutorials patterns for can koozies and insulated water bottle holders but nothing for a zippered bottle koozie.You'd normally see them as promotional items being given out free....usually made of neoprene or scuba material. I'd really like to see about making these. Do you know why there arent any instructions on them /or maybe show me the way to one."

Sit Down Cross Stitch Cushion Pattern

"The pattern for this cushion uses big wool and supersized stitches which makes the cross stitch really easy and much faster compared to conventional cross stitch. Sit Down are not only great words for a cushion but it happens to be one of my favourite songs. This cushion has a lovely retro feel about it the bright colours and the interesting typography really get it noticed."
