So much fun stuff happened with the Funky Friends in 2021 it’s hard to pick what to share… in fact I eventually decided I needed to break this Year in Review into\u00a0 3 separate posts – 2021 Pattern Releases, Happy Snaps from 2021 and finally YOUR favourite makes of 2021… because I know you love these highlights.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First Up… the New Funky Friends from 2021.<\/span><\/h2>\n

We began with t<\/span><\/span>he Kelsey Keepsake Unicorn pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. She came into being as a sew-along and I put her together as a pattern due to popular demand!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Winsome Wolf Pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/a> has been the MOST difficult pattern I’ve ever designed BUT people had been begging me for a wolf for a couple of years.
