I been trying to learn how to do this myself with little very little luck, LOL

Could someone make me a pattern from my attached photos..What I want is to make a pattern of my wife's step dad and if you can do it take out/delete her mother from the picture/pattern..Then possibly make a small silhouette from the side profile of him and maybe have that down in one of the lower corners of the portrait..Maybe this wont work or look good but it was a idea the wife and I thought might be kind of cool..He past away last April and my wife wants me to make this for her mother and brother..

Thank you very much,
Kevin

Sam, Your pattern with the silhouette near the bottom is what I was looking for..
I really like the pattern Viki made too..
Both patterns are better than I could get and although the pattern Sam made is sort of what I was wanting..Something just doesn't look right with it..I don't know what it is though..However I may try to cut it anyway unless I get some others to choose from.I have in the past cut patterns that on the pattern did not look quite right and it looked great in the cutting..Also have cut some that looked great that once cut didn't look right..

I will give it a few days and see if any others give it a shot before I start cutting..Making it for Christmas gift anyway so I have a little time..

Thanks for taking the time to give it a try.. Viki and Sam

I just wanted to say thank you to all that worked on making this pattern for me.. We had decided to cut the pattern Sam made..I like the other patterns as well and will probably cut those out too when I get caught up on gift making, LOL

Here is a link to the cutting
