Alot of times I use patterns but motify along the way. I do create my own too. Mostly applique stuff. Or I'll combine patterns. The one I'm showing here is a different pattern for each item. The dog is from online that I printed then enlarged.
The bones I cut out of a fabric, the firehydrent is off a pattern then enlarged. The paws are from another pattern then the woofs are what I drew. I don't think copyright would be an issue here I hope.
