Boys get a raw deal when it comes to sewing and crafting. It\u2019s all pink with stars and ribbon, and if you\u2019re a boy ..that\u2019s YUCK!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Two of my favourite craft blogs, dana-made-it.com<\/strong><\/a> and made-by-rae.com<\/a><\/strong> have taken it upon themselves to \u201cCelebrate the boy\u201d <\/strong>this Feb with patterns, tutorials and craft ideas that are just for boys.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

I love the way Dana takes the simplest things and turns them into something quite magical! So when I heard what they were up to, I just had to show my support for the ‘little blokes’ – because boys are really important <\/strong>here at Funky Friends Factory too!<\/p>\n

And the most boy-friendly project I have, has got to be…<\/p>\n

\n

…the Silly Scraps Snakes!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So what I thought to start off with a step-by-step tutorial to make my Silly Scraps Snake Pattern<\/strong> to show you how they\u2019re done and then follow it up with a great giveaway for a VERY limited time\u2026<\/p>\n

This Fabric Snake pattern is so quick and simple you can whip up as a last minute gift and the bonus is\u00a0 – ANY fabric scraps can be used! The pattern is also simple enough (and manly enough!) for a boy to make for himself! Funnily enough, the youngest person ever to sew one of my patterns was an 8 year old boy! (He did have a bit of help from mum on the sewing machine but he was so proud of himself – I featured him on my “Stuffed Toy crafting with kids”<\/strong><\/a> blog post!)<\/p>\n

\n

Now, about that giveaway…<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

To get you in the \u2018Celebrate\u2019 mood. For a limited time I\u2019m going to give away the Silly Scraps Snake e-Pattern<\/a><\/strong> with EVERY PURCHASE made in Feb (2011)<\/strong> and on the 28th of Feb, I will be drawing a winner for the Fabric Scrap Snake<\/strong> who will win the scrap snake that I made in the tutorial!<\/p>\n

*** Just drop me a comment below to get your name in the draw!***<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Good luck in the draw, and happy celebrating all the ‘boy-people’ in YOUR life!!!<\/p>\n
