[MR] Cow pattern link for Celtic Cattle

[elspeth]

Here is the pattern for the cow that we are using for Celtic Cattle.  I
have also added the directions below.

Take the 8" strip and sew one long edge of it to the outside edge of one
of the body pieces, all the way around (right sides of fabric together).
[I prefer to start at the rump -  so that my stuffing point/seam is at
the butt end of the finished cow. This makes attaching a tail very easy,
just sew it into the seam when you close your cow after stuffing it.]

Now, sew the other long edge of the strip to the other cow body piece,
all the way around (right sides together). [I also do not bother with
pinning the pieces together. Instead, I just go slowly on my sewing
machine, feeding the pieces together, and clipping corners as I go. If I
want to add ears or horns, I sew them in at this point, too.]

Once the cow is sewn together, turn it right side out, and stuff it.
Voila! You have cow.
