I made this for my cousin, Sandi’s, first baby. It’s great for taking photos are wrapping up for a Fall football game. Sandi is the cheerleading coach at the High School where she teaches, so I’m sure it will get good use. I’ve seen other versions, but they never really looked like a real football. My version has great shaping and even has the correct number of 8 cross-width seam stitches of a regulation football!

I may be persuaded to write up the pattern…
