Oh golly, that takes me back. In 1981 I had my own CompuServe account... the one with all numbers! I participated in numerous CS forums, and still have friends I met via the chats. I remember when Phil Donahue did a program about this new thing called the "internet" -- he had a computer geek on stage with a computer (can't remember what kind), logged onto AOL, and conducting a chat session during the show. My boyfriend had a computer at home; I used to go to his house to type up my college papers because he had "WordStar" and it was just so much neater than my IBM Selectric. You mean I can save it, then load it back and change it? Wow!!
These are so easy to make; I figured out how and made a set of instructions. The project itself is shown on my 2006 projects page: http://www.sissonfamily.com/Sewingroom/pages/2006projects.htm It's about 1/3 of the way down. There's a link to a PDF file with instructions. (Here's hoping my server has enough bandwidth!)

It just takes some Heat 'n' Bond fusible web, some iron-on laminating film, canvas base fabric, bias tape, and pre-made cotton strapping.
