Rich, I called Seattle Fabrics on this before going to Baja. They offered me their catalog (at a price... $5 I think!) but would not give me any information on a pattern for dry bags, just made vague reference to it being an article. The pattern is not sold or mentioned in their catalog. I can't order material without knowing how much is required... so I need a pattern first, but wasn't able to get them to give me a pattern... and round and round we go. Can't someone just scan the sucker and send it to me?? Karen Richard G.
