Free pattern: Corner hammock mat for shelter cats

February 24, 2014 by Anne Weaver

Pam from Sally Goodin shares a free pattern for this corner hammock to hang in a cat kennel. It’s made from toweling, with webbing and carabiners making sturdy straps to attach it to the bars of the kennel. The toweling is soft and sturdy and washable. She designed the corner hammocks several years ago at the request of the animal behaviorist at the Hawaiian Humane Society. She’s providing the pattern for free to encourage sewists to make them for their local animal shelters, too. Go to her Squidoo page to get her free pattern.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
