I made a Christmas star ornament using a tutorial from http://linaloo.typepad.com/ . i added a picture here of the template . You will need to use a ruler to draw the template using her measurements (2 1/2 by 3 1/2) .
ignore the numbers on the template in this image !

I love that!! I’m in the middle of making a stuffed fabric kitty, my first ever “stuffed” sewing item (besides a pillow). It’s been interesting so far… : )
i’ve never made a stuffy either. someday i’d like to try the Melly and Me patterns. Can’t wait to see the kitty !
