KEEPSAKE UNICORN Pattern ready for release!

Sep 13, 2021 | Blog, NEW Toy Patterns

It’s taken me a long time to complete the pattern BUT I’m happy to say she’s finally done and I am proud to introduce the Kelsey KEEPSAKE UNICORN Pattern! The pattern has a full set of instructions, a layout diagram, a requirements list for notions and fabrics, a step-by-step photo tutorial and most importantly – ALL of the pattern pieces are included! There are pattern pieces for the MANE, TAIL, FLOWER & STAR FELT DECORATIONS and…

wait for it…

I’ve added a TUTU!

I think she looks adorable in pretty pinks with rainbows, stars and and glittery tulle-netting for her tutu… BUT this Keepsake Unicorn doesn’t have to be this PINK!!! LOL 

Look how cute the Unicorn Pattern
looks made up in BLUE!

Is there a Pattern tutorial for the Keepsake Unicorn?

YES! I have created a step-by-step photo tutorial so you can see EXACTLY how to sew this cute Keepsake Unicorn Pattern – with lots of clever keepsake making tips and tricks!  As usual, you can access the tutorial using the link in the See-Me-Sew section of the pattern.

What fabric should I use?

You can use any type of fabric to sew your keepsake toy (I recommend that you use interfacing to line fabrics that are thin and very stretchy). Mixing and matching different types of fabrics makes a memory toy look awesome! 

Kelsey Keepsake Unicorn looks good in all sorts of colours and textures – as you can see from the feedback photos from the Testers! 😍

 

Here are just some
of the lovely feedback photos…

 

I am LOVING this bright girly Kelsey Keepsake Unicorn sewn by Lisa Smallwood of Sewn 4 You.

Don’t you love the
cute eye-lashes she’s added?

Lisa also sent me some photos from other angles so you can see the cute TAIL and TUTU!!!

 

This adorable memory toy version of the Unicorn Keepsake Pattern was sewn by Emma Woodley of The Sewing Bumble Bee. Look at all the special details of the baby clothes that Emma has been able to incorporate in this precious keepsake…. like the words – I LOVE Mummy on the arm!

This cute fleece version of the Kelsey Unicorn Keepsake Pattern was sewn by Shirls Smith. She also used starry fleece and fleece for the orange star which ties in nicely with the orange stripes on the arms!

Angela Blackmore from AngeMadeIt sewed this starry version of the Keepsake Unicorn which is quite a cuteness overload on its own…. 

 

…then a friend gave her
a bunch of her daughter’s baby clothes… 😍 

 

This very sweet version of the Kelsey Keepsake Unicorn Pattern was sewn by Jasmin Hutchison of Designs by Jasmin… I love the wooden buttons she’s used and the way she’s “fussy cut” the clothing items and placed “I love daddy” strategically on the Unicorn’s hoof!

    I just finished two unicorns for a friend’s new granddaughters. They’re a great gift and I personalized the bottom of their feet with their names and birth dates. Would live to share pictures with you.
