<\/strong>2014 was such <\/strong>a wonderful year..<\/p>\n

and it’s all thanks to you!<\/strong><\/h1>\n



\nYour amazing feedback photos<\/strong><\/span><\/a> are a daily inspiration for me to work harder and design more exciting, NEW toy sewing patterns for you!<\/p>\n

\"2014<\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

In 2014 we were joined by…<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Shelby the NO SOCK Sock Monkey<\/span><\/a> <\/strong>which is a really easy sewing pattern for a cute sock monkey that doesn’t require any SOCKS!<\/p>\n

You can read more about why I made a NO SOCK version <\/strong>
\nof this traditional sock toy in<\/strong> this blog post<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.

Next came Lily the Ladybug Sewing Pattern<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Lily is a sweet little bug that looks great in all sorts of colours…<\/p>\n

NOT just ‘normal’ red and black!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Lily\"Lily
\n

\n

\nNext came some naughty puppy dogs – my Butch and Bella Bulldog Sewing Pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. Butch is the boisterous British Bulldog and Bella is the sassy little French bulldog he met at the dog show in Paris.<\/p>\n

Don’t they make a cute pair?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Bulldog<\/p>\n



\n

\nThen I designed some MORE Kawaii Kuties animal doll patterns<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> (my easy patterns for children and beginner sewists!) This time I created a pattern For a Kawaii CAT and a Kawaii DOG.<\/p>\n

I added a cute little pet jacket to the sewing pattern!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Kawaii<\/p>\n


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



\n

\nNext came a new doll sewing pattern. I tried to make her scary but my Whitney Witch Doll Sewing Pattern<\/strong><\/span><\/a> turned out too cute!!! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

and she’s scared of the dark!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Witch<\/p>\n

I had a puppet sewing pattern published in Homespun Magazine<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. I designed a cute family of pandas and all their felt accessories –<\/p>\n

what fun! <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Homespun<\/p>\n

I had another toy sewing pattern published in Love Sewing magazine<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. This time I was to design a traditional soft toy sewing pattern for a hobby horse. I had so much fun designing and making the hobby horse\u2026<\/p>\n

I had to make TWO!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

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

*** I cannot release the pattern for 6 months,
\nso make sure you have signed up for my Funky Friends Factory newsletter (see the sign up box on my website home page) so you\u2019ll find out when it\u2019s released!***<\/p>\n



\n
<\/p>\n

And last but not least, <\/strong><\/h1>\n

I designed a free Christmas sewing pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. This year I created a pattern to make Christmas hats for ALL the Funky Friends toys. I had so much fun sewing them that I have added to the pattern and included sizing the pattern for kiddies, teenagers\/small adults as well as a large adult size.<\/p>\n

so there\u2019s a size to fit everyone!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Funky <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you didn’t get the pattern at Christmas time,
\ndon’t worry you can still get it for free here<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n



\n
<\/p>\n

I’ve got BIG things lined up for 2015! <\/strong><\/h1>\n

I’m planning on working on LOTS of new pattern designs this year, as well as lots of toy-making blog posts, newsletter tips and tricks and special offers for my newsletter subscribers, so here’s to an exciting 2015 and as the saying goes…<\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE!!!<\/strong><\/h1>\n
