That's truly such a generous offer to take the time to sew one for another CPAP user. Do you make a pillow case for it too?

I'm not sure how this topic resurfaced, but I am sorry to say the computer that had this pattern on it died long ago. That's what you get for buying cheap computers, but that's what I can afford.

SO THERE IS NO PATTERN ANYMORE. i AM SORRY.

Don't be sorry Peggy. You did a lot of good from what I could see. Think of all the stuffed animals who are finding relief now

But seriously folks, does anyone have the pattern???? Anyone???

Cheers,

Dave

So if you want to email the pattern to people who express interest, that is wonderful and greatly appreciated!

I have a copy for this. I need an email address pmed to me and then I can send it on.

This may be a silly question, but is there a reason we cant just host the pattern online and link to it so anyone can get it without the need to e-mail it?

I think that decision must be Peggy's. The pattern currently is a pdf file.

I offered long, long ago for it to be something downloadable on this forum, but no one took me up on it. If that is now possible, I say go for it!

People just have to know it's a crude, homemade pattern and not expect anything fancy, but I still use mine to this day, and if it helps anybody else sleep comfortably with their CPAP contraptions, I am happy to share!

Yeah, its completely possible. It wont be hosted by cpaptalk it would have to be hosted somewhere else, but it shouldnt be an issue if you want to get it out there.

I'm good at that computer stuff.. too bad my sewing skills dont match my computer skills!

Sounds good Jules. (PM sent) Even though this thread only has around 40 posts, it has OVER 5,000 views, so there is obviously a lot of people interested in the PillowPal.

Its nice to be able to help other people out with your design. Very kind of you to be so generous to e-mail it out to so many people all this time. Also very kind of the person that was sewing it for people. I'm sure you both have helped a lot of people.

Thank you for your kind words, and thank you to you both, Jules and Blakepro, for helping make this happen. I am sorry I can't do my part anymore but happy to pass the torch.

Okay, for the enjoyment of everyone, and to give pjwalman and Jules (and whoever else) a break in the e-mailing of it, here is a link to where the file is hosted. Anyone can go there and download it for free.

IF YOU DOWNLOAD IT AND IT HAS HELPED YOU, PLEASE POST HERE TO THANK THE CREATOR AND TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT TOO.

Also, just a note about the design:

I sent it to blakepro to figure out how to host and in the last 24 hours have sent it to 4 others I think - maybe 5. There seems to be new interest in this and it would be good to have this thread bumped every so often for newbies. I can not edit my original post in the where a cpap newbie should start but there would be many things to add to it if I could. Not many know I have a thread which is the big mask leak rate chart that riverdave prepared and I have those screen shots on my photobucket account.

Yes blakepro, I knew Peggy had a restriction on it which is why we needed her to give the okay to host it. However, strange thing is I got my copy of the pattern not from Peggy but from someone else.
