One - like the lady did here, traced around it on paper, cut it out, pin it with several pins on a stack of scraps, and cut carefully around the edge of the pattern.
Those you iron on something using fusible tissue or glue.
TWO - Trace around it on a piece of paper. Draw a second line around it to make a 1/4" seam line. Tape two skinny pens together and follow the line with the inside one, the outside one will automatically draw the seam line.
Cut on the outside edge to get a pattern that will have a turned under seam.
To use.... take a piece of used dryer fabric, draw both lines on it, pin it on the right side of the fabric, cut it out in hunks, sew around the inside line, then cut around the outside line...this prevents slippage...carefully cut a slit in the middle of the dryer fabric, turn and press or stuff a little bit...then sew the whole thing on the background fabric.

Hi Dotty
I remember sending a package to New York with a weird address. That was sometime ago. It probably is setting in a Post Office somewhere or is lost. Sorry, but know I sent a package probably to you. At that time you were the only NY address that I had. If you would just send me your address again, we possibly could find it. Thanks!
