I am making the Petite size in this video but both sizes are constructed the same way. The PDF sewing pattern can be purchased at lindshandmade.com. Finished dimensions of each size are as follows: Standard is 12” wide by 8” deep by 16” high. The Petite is 10” wide by 6” deep by 15½”h. I am sewing on my industrial Juki Du-1181n using tex 80 bonded polyester thread. The Highland cow custom panel is a water-resistant canvas from K & A Custom Fabrics. We have partnered with them to offer “cut and sews” specifically designed for this pattern. As the name implies, you simply cut out the pre-printed pattern pieces and start sewing! (You will need to provide proof of pattern purchase before buying.)
