Pattern tip from Red Marionette

Just saw a great tip from Red Marionette, on making and using patterns from stiff felt.  Its a great idea and can't wait to try it out. Especially for some of my larger plush since it might save me a lot of time I spend tracing patterns now. I have a feeling it will work similarly with the fleece I use for plush as well as with felt I use for ornaments.  :D
