Ignoring all my current projects, I decided that I HAD to make a tailors ham. This is used as a pressing tool rather than to eat funnily enough. I picked up this great bobbin material in a fabric swap with Wendy from
Sew Biased

The other side was with some fantastic pure wool that looked like the kind of thing tailors hams were made of. From a fabric swap with the
Crafty Mermaid.

I picked the filling based on others advice and got wood shavings from the pet store (normally used for rabbit beds I think). I've used these a few times and I think I might have to restuff them as the filling has settled. (Also I was one handed when I was stuffing them so it was a little hard to press the wood down). I used the free pattern from
Victory Patterns.
