Teresa’s BIG Cuddle fabric TIP:

Theresa (the Shannon sewing instructor) recommends printing the Lamkins Lamb Pattern at 150% in order to accommodate the extra bulk of the Cuddle® fabric.

    Can you recommend where I can purchase the Cuddle fabric for the Lamkin’s lamb? There is no where around me that sells the Cuddle.

    Thank you Pauline for the discount. I so appreciate your generosity.

    I’ve been wanting to buy Ellie the Elephant too so I bought both Ellie and Lamkins today!

    Your directions are always so helpful. That combined with Teresa’s tutorial makes a super combination.
