As a child, my Mom made cat and dog pillows for children. They had a patterned back and plain face. The facial features were embroider on. She is now 98 and has dementia. Would love to make some pillows.

I love these free patterns. I will be making some of them for a fund raiser for our
Platt R. Spencer Historical Society group. Spencer is known as the father of American penmanship. His beautiful cursive writing can be seen on many of our historical documents. We are working on restoring the house he lived in while developing his cursive writing by tracing the letters in the sands of Lake Erie because he didn’t have paper. Thank you so much!

These are great aprons. I will make a couple for next Christmas. I like the men’s aprons for the male bar-b-quers in the family. By any chance to you have a pattern or instructions for an apron made from a man’s dress shirt. I know I saw it somewhere. But, don’t have the instructions. Thanks for all of your wonderful ideas, patterns and instructions. Everything is great. Your are the best.
