This adorable lion was made with my pattern. The brilliant seamstress said she used an old jacket for the mane. I'm totally in love with him!
Stuffed animal sewing patterns featuring original designs by Kathy Barbro I ended up combining those two skills and started my own sewing pattern company.
I grew up on a farm learning how to sew from my mom, and after college, gained some graphic design experience. The style of my creations are based on a discovery I made in art school. I love to top stitch fabric to a muslin backing and run it through a hot wash and dry cycle to encourage shrinking. The result is a rumpled texture and the inspiration for the name of my animal patterns: Rumpled Quil

Here's just about the cutest lion I've ever seen. Made with my pattern, with a substitution for the mane. The seamstress said she took it from an old jacket. Genius!

Thought I'd share this lovely email I got the other day:
"Hi Kathy –
I wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed your zebra pattern. I purchased it about nine years ago and have made one for each of my eight grandchildren. Then I made another one for a friend. I am planning to make the tenth one this summer to be donated for a charity auction at a pregnancy center in central Texas. I’ve never had another pattern I’ve used and enjoyed so much, or one that has brought so much pleasure to so many people. The children all love their “zebies”. Thank you for your wonderful designs.
— Rubye from central Texas"
Thank you Rubye, you are quite a seamstress, they are all adorable!
