January’s Maker of the Month entries range from farmyard favorites (Patty the Cow) to mythical creations (Kelsey Keepsake Unicorn). Some cute kids and pets posing with their favorite Funky Friends round out the fun. Read on for some funky sewing inspiration and to see who our January winner is!
This jaunty Keep Me Keepsake Bear sewn by Lorna Moore showcases fabric from a sweater, a shirt, and even a neck tie!

Jaime Marie Cox is a pre-K teacher and she made this vibrant Stu Sea Turtle for a special student who loves turtles. I’m sure she’ll love Stu!

These three keepsake versions of the Patty the Cow toys by Kristi Coburn show that you don’t need black and white “cow spot” fabric to make an inspired bovine.
(There are 3 blind mice, 3 little pigs, 3 Billy goats gruff, and 3 bears…
but unfortunately no fairy tale for the 3 red cows!)

Cheryl Bock made a custom collar and tag for “Kirby,” the Butch the Bulldog she sewed.

Lisa Smallwood used a plaid shirt to make this adorable keepsake version of the Joey Junior Kangaroo pattern. The front pocket from the shirt fits perfectly on the kangaroo tummy!
It’s a Blue Roo for you! 💙

This perfectly pretty Kelsy Keepsake Unicorn sewn by Lauren Hodgson-King was her first try at this pattern.

Loretta Harner Barger needed some “emergency toys” for her grandkids, so she whipped up a quick Elle Elephant …

… and a speedy Slush the Snowman. Looks like the new owners are happy!

Pets also like to pose with their Funky Friends, and we love seeing fun feedback photos with them included. This Winsome Wolf sewn by Lizzy Newstead-Bentham had a prior life as a vintage pajama top, but now it’s a buddy for Lizzy’s terrier.
This cute kitty likes to cuddle with Winsome Wolf, as sewn here by Kirsty Louise Barnett.
