Check out these cute
\nValentine’s Day
\n<\/strong>toys~><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

A heart on the chest adds a Valentine’s Day touch to any toy. Joy Davies<\/strong> went with a red and white combo for this ‘heartfelt’ Fifi Fox<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.

Puppy Pete<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u2019s wide ears make a perfect space for embroidery, as you can see in this \u201cPuppy Love\u201d version of Puppy Pete<\/a><\/strong><\/span> sewn by Jonell Hart<\/strong>.

Christine Storrs<\/strong> used a similar fabric on her Valentine’s Diggles Dragon<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. I love how it coordinates with the blue body.

For more fluffy fun (and a challenge), you can use a long pile fabric for the mane pieces in the Larry Lion pattern. Ajaire Parello<\/strong> also added false eyelashes to her toy.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This candy hearts fabric looks adorable on Larry Lion<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, as sewn by Jo Ann Carroll<\/strong>. Again, I personally\u00a0 think it’s a bit more challenging to make the mane from the thicker long-pile fur but it really looks amazing!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
