This week’s episode of Sew Together Tuesday combines three of our favorite things: Cuddle®, stuffed animal patterns and giving back!

Our National Educator Teresa Coates will be chatting with Rustic Horseshoe’s very own Rena Dearden for a behind-the-scenes look at not just how she became a pattern designer, but all that goes into creating new patterns (she mentioned a laundry basket full of “imperfect” heads)!

Also, Rena will be sharing a special coupon code LIVE on Sew Together Tuesday for 30 percent off at [rustichorseshoe.com](https://rustichorseshoe.com/)! Better yet, 90 percent of all sales from the promo code will be donated to the [Arizona Equine Rescue Organization](https://azequinerescue.org/), a highly-specialized health center for rescue horses that require intensive medical care.

Teresa won’t be tackling a project this week, so for tips specific to sewing stuffies with Cuddle®, be sure to check out her [previous episode (and download the tip sheet), here](https://blog.shannonfabrics.com/blog/video-how-to-make-stuffed-animals-out-of-cuddle-minky-plush-fabric)!
