It’s taken a while to come up with my latest design, I’ve been side-tracked designing the Fair Trade toys and the Sydney Show – WHO’d have thought that making toys would make me THIS busy?<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Heather the Hippo<\/a><\/strong> is something a little different, you see, she is the very first Funky Friends Factory pattern that was designed using NON-STRETCH fabrics…<\/p>\n

I usually design in fleece which is nice and stretchy so this was a real challenge for me – especially with such a ‘buxom’ creature! Before I forget, Heather wants me to tell everyone that any ‘lines’ you may see are NOT fat rolls – they are puckers in her seams… Well, who am I to burst her bubble! I think she’s really cute and cuddlesome just as she is! : )<\/p>\n

She can be made from any non-stretch fabrics eg. cotton drill, cottons, corduroy and quilting fabrics. Although the pattern says to use non-stretch fabrics, the Hippo can be also be made from fleece, but I don’t think she is quite as cute as in the non-stretch fabrics which shows off her naturally curvy shape!<\/p>\n

The Heather the Hippo pattern<\/a><\/span><\/strong> is available now, from the Funky Friends Factory website, either as a PDF download pattern or a printed pattern.<\/p>\n

Hope you like her!<\/h3>\n
