Free pattern: DIY tee pee tent

I know this is meant for kids, but I can’t help but want this tee pee for myself. Especially when it’s made from a cute fabric and has a pretty arrangement of flowers around the top. Angel from Fleece Fun shares a tutorial showing how you can make one, and includes a pattern. The tee pee big enough for several kids to fit inside – or perhaps one mom who just wants a few minutes of peace and quiet. Her free pattern is part of the Summer Sewing Series at Polka Dot Chair.
