This new toy pattern was designed with someone VERY special in mind. Shirls has been one of my biggest fans for SO many years that <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I even forget when<\/span><\/p>\n

I first met her!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

…and for ALL these years she\u2019s been P-A-T-I-E-N-T-L-Y waiting for me to design her a pattern that looked like her little pup.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aww, just look at those EYES!!!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND finally this year, TOTALLY out of the blue, inspiration hit me – HOORAY!!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span>I think the cuteness of this puppy is in those extra large and totally endearing EYES – and after I added the ribbons – I think I could just eat her up!!!! LOL<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND now I am verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry excited to share this adorable\u00a0 puppy with you!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Meet<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

OK, so how does testing work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

We now have over a thousand people applying to test each new pattern, and I just can’t get to read all the applications OR give away that many free patterns each time! So we tried out a new way to do testing (to let as many people as possible be able to test my new patterns) and it worked out really well with the Coco Chameleon testing, so we’ll be doing testing like that again…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So, ANYONE can be a Tester ~><\/span><\/p>\n

You don’t have to be a very experienced sewer or even a brilliant toy-maker. <\/span>You can test the pattern even if you have NEVER sewn a toy before!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BUT, you need to be FREE in the next 10 days!!!<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

*** We have a deadline!***<\/span><\/p>\n

You need to be able to sew up the toy and send in the photographs by the deadline date – March 13th, 2022 (In YOUR time zone!)<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 You will need to buy the pattern first and sew a Puppy toy – so you can answer the Feedback Survey questions AND send in photos of your finished toy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once your feedback is received\u00a0 ~> you’ll receive a Tester’s THANK YOU VOUCHER<\/strong>* so you can get another Funky Friends Factory pattern for FREE! (* The voucher MUST be used within 30 days on ANY existing Funky Friends Factory pattern<\/strong>.)\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What’s GREAT <\/span>about this~><\/span><\/h2>\n

1. FFF fans will be able to get two patterns for the price of one!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2. AND I can afford to have UNLIMITED testers!!! \ud83d\ude03<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
