\"\"If you know that a Neushoorn is a RHINO<\/strong> and an Eend is a DUCK<\/strong> – you can now get your fix of Funky Friends Factory patterns and toy-making kits from the very first Dutch stockist www.stitchee.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The passionate crafter behind stitchee.com Erika de Niet-Winkels<\/strong>, based in Oud-Beijerland, a village in the Netherlands countryside. She’s a part-time teacher, but doing Crafty things is her passion!!!<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

\"\"I was thrilled to find out that Erika is also a designer and has her own original sewing patterns like “Knuf-Ol<\/strong><\/a>” . Erika explains this as being a mix of the Dutch word “knuffel”, which means something like cuddly toy and ‘Ol’ from ‘olifant’, which means ‘Elephant’.<\/p>\n

She designed this playtoy for babies<\/a><\/strong> and toddlers which has other brilliant uses. The hind legs have ribbon tags and the front legs have Velcro to attach your pacifier or teething ring to it – how clever!!! You can also attach it very easily to your pram or stroller, so you don’t loose the toy.

<\/p>\n

Check out her legs…. well, her Knuf-ol’s legs – ha!ha!\u00a0 : )<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
<\/p>\n

And there’s another clever trick….<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You can make trunk go upwards or downwards!<\/p>\n

\n\"\"
\nErika also has lots of gorgeous crafty things for sale on her website like this gorgeous pot of fabric flowers<\/a><\/strong>, which she custom makes with stars, hearts and balloons or a mixture of all of these!!! You can choose how many sticks, what color and even with or without pot.<\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\nYou can find more of her creations in her website www.stitchee.com<\/a> <\/strong>which is available in Dutch<\/strong> and also in English at https:\/\/stitchee.webplus.net\/<\/strong><\/a>.

\n

Erika also offers Funky Friends Factory kits on her website with lovely fabrics ready to use for your Funky Friends Factory toy<\/strong>. She has been having fun making up the Funky Friends herself. ,I love the Funky Friends she’s made<\/strong><\/a> – I think some of hers are even cuter than my originals!<\/p>\n

\n

Oops…
\nI got distracted looking at all the lovely things on her website!<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Back to Erika, being the first Dutch Funky Friends Factory stockist<\/strong>!!!<\/p>\n

\n


<\/p>\n

I was very excited to have my patterns available online for the first time in the Netherlands and available online to Dutch speakers<\/strong>… and Erika says she is more than happy to assist any Dutch speakers who aren’t 100% sure of the English instructions – how good is that! : )<\/p>\n

\n

Please pop across and check out Erika’s Stitchee store<\/a><\/strong> and if you are in the Netherlands or if you speak Dutch, she’s your ‘go-to-gal’ for Funky Friends Factory patterns!!!!<\/p>\n

It’s wonderful to have you onboard, Erika, all the best with your Stitchee endeavours!<\/p>\n
