With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I thought you’d like to see some customer feedback photos of LOVELY Valentine’s toys – for ideas – AND I have a FREE Valentine’s Pattern ADD-ON for YOU!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BUT first…<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let’s check out
\nsome fun examples of the
\nLove Monster pattern!<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a great gift for kids of all ages and adults because you can customize<\/i> the front! I included some common Valentine’s sayings in the LOVE Monsters Pattern<\/strong><\/a><\/span> but you can add your own personal message, a name, or whatever you want!<\/span><\/p>\n

Dawn Buel Fleischman\u00a0<\/b>used a cute western bandana-style print on these Love Monster<\/a>s<\/span><\/strong> for her grandkids. This easy, versatile pattern looks great in plain fabric or all sorts of prints, and the front tummy panel is a great space for embroidery machine files, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), keepsake t-shirt panels, or even a photo!<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Love<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Colleen Forrester<\/strong> used a tiny tummy heart and some happy holiday prints for her Love Monsters<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. Based on those smiles, it looks like they were a big hit!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can use hand embroidery or purchase pre-cut packs of iron-on letters to make a custom Love Monster<\/a><\/span><\/strong> for everyone in the family, as seen in these colorful toys by Mandy’s Memory Bears<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here are some Mix & Match MONSTERS.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

My other monster pattern – the Mix and Match Monsters<\/span><\/strong><\/a> is ALSO a great pattern for sewing Valentine’s toys. It’s also an EASY toy pattern for kids to sew themselves – so it makes a great Valentine’s craft activity too!<\/span><\/p>\n

Kristy Welling <\/b>used the same pattern shapes as the toy above, but ended up with a totally different monster vibe with this little guy, who looks eager for a hug.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sherry Kush<\/b> made this happy, furry Mix & Match Monster<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0for her granddaughter. I especially like the tongue!<\/span><\/p>\n

Use Valentine’s FABRIC to make a Valentine’s toy…<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

You can use ANY Funky Friends Factory Toy Pattern<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0for Valentine’s Day! Transform your pattern into a holiday hit with\u00a0Valentine’s fabric<\/strong>, or a mix of plain red, white, or pink<\/strong>…works great! <\/span><\/p>\n

Emilie Gorham<\/b>, one of our extremely generous Fan Club members on Facebook, makes tons of toys for a local children’s charity. She always has the perfect fabric for each pattern and holiday. Here’s a Joey Junior Kangaroo<\/strong><\/span><\/a> ready to hop into your heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Emilie used the patchwork design of the Gertrude Guinea Pig Pattern<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to showcase some coordinating holiday prints. The sweet tiny feet look extra cute in this bold red design.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love this kitty sewn by Amanda of Arwrens Joy<\/strong><\/span><\/a>! The Patch Pussy Cat Pattern<\/strong><\/a><\/span> looks great in almost any set of fabrics. You can use a different fabric for each piece, follow the suggested “patchwork” plan in the pattern, or come up with you own layout like this patterned body and solid color muzzle combination.<\/span><\/p>\n

A seahorse might not be the first animal that comes to mind when you think of Valentine’s Day, but the hearts are certainly sweet on this Sparkles Seahorse<\/strong><\/span><\/a> sewn by Orsolya Czili.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Use a HEART to make a Valentine’s toy.<\/h2>\n

Don’t worry if you don’t have Valentine’s fabric!<\/span><\/p>\n

ALL you need to do is
\nadd a fabric heart!!!

Diane Montague <\/b>hand sewed some hearts to her Diggles Dragon<\/strong><\/a><\/span> and named him “Valentino.” \ud83d\ude02 This “love dragon” was a gift for his husband.<\/span><\/p>\n
