-BATTING: a small amount of loose polyfil batting for crown.


File Size: 11MB

All of my patterns are packaged and sent in a zipped (compressed) folder which contains separate files for the following:

  • the PDF Pattern file

  • the "READ FIRST" instructions which are the detailed instructions of the pattern

  • a black and white version of just the sewing tutorial for those who like to print out instructions

Some patterns also include a separate file for the face template patterns as well as an overview image of the templates.

This allows you to access only the information you require at any given step of the process without having a massive file open. 

To access the pattern after you receive them, right-click on the zipped folder icon and instead of clicking "open", click "extract all" and then chose the folder you would like the files to be saved.
