Has anyone made a muff for a dementia patient – that has buttons sewn on and tassels, and other touchable items for them to fuss with?
I just heard of this! But have not made any myself. If you make one with faux fur I’d recommend one with a low pile, not too furry.
For so long I’ve wanted a proper muff, but been unable to buy one or even to obtain a pattern for one- now thanks to you my desire for a muff is fulfilled. hank you.
I have a piece of an old mink coat that my aunt donated years ago. Would this muff pattern help me to use that lovely piece (I know, I would have to endure the “politically incorrect” label, but the fur is just languishing in a drawer …) Thanks! I am a real lazybones sewer and label myself “historically interested”, not historically active, but your e-mails etc. are very inspiring and I keep contemplating the possibilities with your classes. Thank you for just being there!
Thanks Trisha. Yes, you’ll find hints of cutting and sewing fur; although, the pattern IS for faux fur and cutting skins are a bit different but still similar. Good luck in whatever you do with it!
Thank you. I have a 12 year old daughter that would swoon for a muff. I think I will make one for her birthday.
Thank you.
