My mom made one for me when I was younger. She had me to cross my arms, with
wrists lined up. She measured elbow to elbow. She cut a rectangle of
material that length. She lined it with velvet and batting. The lining was
1.73 times the length of the outter material. She sewed the outside material
in 2 sections with a 3 inch opening on the long side ( ______ ______).
She stitched the whole lenght of the lining on long side. She attached the
linng to the ends, sewed it and turned the whole thing. She stitched the
lining to the open hole in the ootter material so it did not pull out when
hands were removed. Last, the opening was stitched closed. She attached a
satin ribbon for the neck strap. I loved it and had it until it fell apart.
I hope you can follow what I said. I'm a visual person and pictures help to
see it better.

Subject: [h-cost] Looking for 1850-60 muff pattern
Hi,
A friend of mine is looking for a 1850-60 muff pattern.
Something like this
http://www.gbacg.org/Patterns/forever.htm
But I've read that this pattern is discontinued.
She really likes the draught-stoppers.
Greetings,
Deredere
