    I was looking for a video on easy sewing for my interested little child, I thought this would be great, it started out so, however, I was looking for a little more detail, for someone who has never seen a sewing machine. I love the making of a pattern sheet, pinning the material, but we missed out on the sewing view, and the visibility of the pillow stuffing. Just some comments, that’s all.

    thats really pro well done great work 5*

  16. cyberseams says:

    Yes, you can use other fabrics. I’d go for medium to heavy weight fabrics though – denim, any upholstery fabric, heavier broadcloth, canvas, or you could recycle old blankets, pillows, jackets…

  17. MickeyxMouse88 says:

    Would this pattern work with other materials?

  18. LMBB1975 says:

  21. cyberseams says:

    Cedar chips are sometimes used in dog bedding to help control odor.
