Starbucks Bottle Carrier

Please bear with me as I try to give justice on presenting this project I made using my very own pattern for the first time. I am so happy to have made this bottle carrier, as this is my very own pattern - couldn't have stress that enough.

I made it without any pattern or adapting other creative people's work. I was challenge to do this because I told myself that I can't always depend on other people's work and echo them on my blog. It's time that I should also post a project that I can really call my work. This may sound so plain to most of you, but it really feels good that accomplishing such tasks is very rewarding and addictive.

Here are the details of the project. I'll try to make the pattern as comprehensible as possible. So, please pardon me if there are areas that are not clear as I am new to this - pattern writing. You are free to use this pattern, just don't post this patten stating as your own, just indicate and put a link to my blog. You can email me if you have any questions.
