I am unable to download the pattern without subscribing to a service called "Box". How can I get the pattern?

Please, Please help me. I cannot find an oversize frame for Big Beautiful Betty, I have tried JoAnn's. Michaels, Hobby Lobby and all over the internet and largest I can find is about 8-10 inches. Thanks, Joyce E-Mail joynickl@yahoo.com

I forgot to say I also made one with covering the frame with a contrasting fabric [same as lining] it came out great...it wasn't too hard to do but took a lot of patience...

I think I should have left it at home in closet after I made it because now everyone wants one...I make totes all year round plus other bags,wallets,etc...and my daughter sells them at the craftfair...but now this one I have gotten way too many request for...so it's a major homerun! Thanks ! PS I'm working on the smaller version ones as well and think they will be just as great...sorry can't use a pattern for just one thing I'm a tweeker gotta use it several ways!

Can you let us know what size did you make the pattern when printing it out. Also can it be printed from my home printer? Beautiful purse and i really would love to have one.
