Most homemade soft toys are sewn for babies, or for children. I should know this because I got into designing my Funky Friends Factory toy patterns<\/span><\/strong><\/a> when all my friends started having babies! BUT I know lots of people use my soft toy patterns to make toys as gifts for adults as well…<\/p>\n

\"Homemade<\/p>\n

I got a lovely email from Shirls this week who has made lots and lots of Funky Friends soft toys as gifts, for friends and family members, of ALL ages<\/strong>. This funny photo is of her hubby pretending to be bitten by her latest Funky Friend Sammy the Shark<\/span><\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n

It’s TOMATO SAUCE, not real blood!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi Pauline,
\nI thought you would like to see my latest creation…..your party animal which I have just finished for a friends 80th birthday party tonight. It’s a ‘no present party’, just stupid, funny cards, so I thought this would be appropriate. Especially with the grey hair!<\/p>\n

And NOW…<\/h1>\n

check out her<\/h1>\n

80-year old Party Animal!<\/h1>\n

I love the patch Shirls sewed on his butt!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Party<\/p>\n

This got me thinking – I wonder if this is THE oldest person who has received a Funky Friend toy<\/strong> as a gift?<\/p>\n

Have you sewn a soft toy for someone OLD.. oops, I should be polite and say OLDER THAN YOU? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I’d love to know!!!!<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"Pauline<\/p>\n

Till next time,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy Sewing, <\/strong><\/p>\n
