NO PATTERN STILL? I AM SURE I CAN MAKE MY OWN PATTERN BUT VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT THERE WASN'T ONE WITH THE DIRECTIONS TO DOWNLOAD.

 

Still no pattern-- why?

Reviewer: Liz, 07/31/2011

Am I correct in thinking that you do not read your reviews? I still do not find a pattern for this project and two of the four reviews are from almost a year ago. It is getting that time when people may want to make these--do you or do you not have a pattern? Nice idea but no pattern and the directions for any beginner sewer are not very clear.

I too had to trace the body and make my own pattern. I found it easier not to add the batting for the circles and to glue a small square of cardboard on the bottom of the turkey to help him stand up better...doesn't even show. Fun and easy pattern!

I really want to make this project. However, the directions do not include the pattern for the body. Can you email the body pattern or add it to the online directions?

Very Cute! Love the large YO YOS the project sheet is missing the pattern for the Turkey it says to trace body onto fabric this was very disappointing it was very hard to figure out what size body to make.
