Pattern is from a coloring page that I made up to suit myself no idea where it came from originally I will post pics of them asap also handbags are my own idea... all my family love cats and a bunch of us sew and quilt soooooo However either mccalls or simplicity markets a sewing machine cover and cat head pin cushion pattern...most any cat head picture can be adapted for this purpose I made a round gusset for the bottom and tucked a snack size zip loc bag of aquarium marbles in the bottom center before hand stitching them closed so it will stand up even when I poke pins in it as I hurry sewing

Lucky you! Thanks for the reply. There are a few of the abbreviations i just can't seem to get. Slowly but surely.

Part of my problem is I made somethings for myself pincushion with scrap bag and sewing machine cover. Up at four in the morning to get things done.

After reading all the messages in this section, it seems to be there is no stress. Everyone is having a good time working up to the last minute with the Christmas gifts. I still have a few to get (note, I did not say sew - that is all done). But now, I relish going to Target or one of the malls and listen to the caroling as I try and pick out a "I don't know what to get her" gift. It is fun, it is joyous. It is preparation for the feast of the Birth of Christ. We can stress ourselves off after New Years, wipe the slate clean and start all over again. I love Christmas. I love the ringing of the bells, I love to be decorating the tree and thinking already what I am going to make for whom next year.

With that I would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year, lots of stash and good sales. It's not stress - it is grabbing the season and making every second count - as fun!!!!! And most importantly, Remember the Reason for the Season. Edie

Good Morning from Birmingham. I don't know where to begin to look for how to make a flannel shirt into a tunic but could you point me in the right direction?
Also is there an abbreviation page? I'm thinking maybe DH is dear husband and DD? dear daughter? If so, you are blessed, I have neither.
I am grateful for what I have and hope everyone will look at all the plusses and none of the negatives at this special time of year.
