For the most part I only do a pattern one time unless I find some fabric that I love and it would only work in a pattern that I've already done, and that has only happened once. This year I'm going against that rule and making 5 Christmas table toppers for my children and grandchildren. They are all using the same pattern but different fabric to match the recipients likes. They only take about 4 hours start to finish so that is due able in a couple days.
