If you post a picture somewhere else on the internet of an item that you have made from my patterns, please be kind to provide the direct link to my website. Do not change names of my patterns. I’ve worked hard on these patterns and changing the name does not change the pattern. This is a copyrighted pattern. Be respectful of that fact.
