    I love seeing these little animals come to life under my sewing machine. I have a wonderful husband that stuffs them all and helps me stitch the all closed. But what I love the most is seeing the children’s eyes light up when they see the toy they just have to have. That’s the best feeling.

    What an amazing prize, I love sewing your designs, and my grandchildren love receiving them. I have 14 grandchildren and 1 on the way so an endless supply of outstretched arms waiting for their special Amma treat.
    I am in Brisbane Australia, so a bit far to come to the show lol.

    I LOVE the Funky Friends Factory patterns, especially how using different designed fabrics for the same pattern competely changes the personality of my “Funky Friends” each time it’s made.

    I just started sewing one year ago. I started with a quilt and wasn’t great at it. Then my local quilt started a once a month Critter Club where we make one of your patterns. It’s been such a fun way to improve my sewing skills and end up with a cute project! I’ve loved your patterns and would be thrilled to win some new ones! Thank you for this opportunity!

    Your patterns are so adorable.
    I have made some of my own patterns, especially after I saw a pin for a cute robot with no pattern link. I made mine baby safe without buttons, though. Plus, I played around with shapes settling on a square boy & trapezoid girl over round ones. Here’s a picture of them I pinned: https://pin.it/3ghXEdiUq
    I’ve thought about trying them with quilting fabrics instead of felt but, being a novice, I’m not sure if it works to have their hems out. Do you know? Have you made robots?
