This is an excellent, straightforward pattern with easy to follow instructions. It's a simple sewing tool, but if you're looking for guidance on every aspect of making it, as well as materials, this is really helpful to have.
Great pattern. Made myself this ham. Works great. Really appreciate the free pattern. I went to Lowe’s with a gallon ziplock and filled it from their shop vac at the wood cutting table. Can’t beat the price!
Using my hams and loving them. Easy to make. Great instructions. Thank you
Thank you for the free pattern which I have now made. I used calico for the inner and 10oz natural 100% cotton canvas for the outer. The instructions were very easy to follow. I used wood shavings from pet store. It takes quite a bit of stuffing but I have ended up with a good firm ham which is as good as a bought one, very pleased. Thank you.
The pattern was well written and easy to follow. Was fun creating the ham as well
I made both shapes. Great pattern, easy to follow. I used old sheet (tight weave) for inner, didn’t have any suitable wool for outer so used thick quilting cotton. Filled with wood shavings (from pet shop). If I made another one I would use the ground walnut shells I use for pin cushions, these are fine so one could use a funnel which would make life easier and less messy. I would also leave opening on short edge.
Thank you for your generosity in sharing this free pattern.
The instructions are detailed with lots of added extra information that I found helpful when making my hams.
Very professional and user friendly.
I couldn’t be happier with my pressing hams. I made both sizes out of a thrifted wool skirt and saw dust. Tutorial and video made it so easy. Thanks T&T!!
I finally decided that a rolled up towel just wasn’t working as a tailors ham! Did an online search and found this great pattern from T&T. It was a perfect way to use up some of the pure wool lining from my late Dad’s favourite coat. Having 2 indoor cats also meant a plentiful supply of wood chip cat litter was on hand too! Can’t wait to use them now.
Easy to read instructions. Lovely finish.
