It’s so hard to pick a winner from such a beautiful batch of homemade toys like this. <\/span><\/p>\n

Check out these June highlights from the visitor’s posts on the<\/span> Funky Friends Factory Facebook Page<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0Starting us off is Amy Schlecht Marvin’s bright and cheerful version of the<\/span> Heather Hippo Pattern<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. She says Heather is great to cuddle, and I agree. This Heather TOTALLY huggable.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love seeing kids sewing soft toys! <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kellie Hollis reports that her 11 year old daughter had only been using a sewing machine 3 weeks when she made this version of the<\/span> Sparkles Seahorse Pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. That’s impressive!<\/span><\/p>\n

And how proud is this little guy? Katherine Archer’s 7 year old son had never used a sewing machine before when he made this dinosaur with the<\/span> Triceratops sewing pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. He made it for himself (with help on some parts) as part of his home schooling. Looks like they’re new best buddies.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next up, Charlotte Little used her son’s toddler clothes to make a keepsake using the<\/span> Triceratops toy pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. The denim frill is a great touch with the other coordinated shades of blue.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Susana Gould is another funky fan who likes to sew lovely keepsakes with special fabrics. She used the<\/span> Ollie Owl Pattern<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and<\/span> Melody Memory Bear Pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/a> (reduced in size) to create huggable memories from a grandfather’s shirts.<\/span><\/p>\n

I spotted not one, but two fantastic fluffy versions of the<\/span> Digger Dachshund Pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/a> this month. Here is “Lachlan,” made by Gill Reiersen, and his new owner. This was Gill’s first toy made with faux fur and it turned out fantastic.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You don’t have to use faux fur to get a great shaggy effect, though, as demonstrated by Mo Coe with this Digger Dachshund keepsake, which was made from a fluffy sweater.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lisa M Smith made a super cute keepsake version of the<\/span> Gertrude Guinea Pig pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/a> from her daughter’s primary school uniform to capture great memories, including the school’s pet guinea pigs!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
