I knew it was going to be tough to select the Testers for my NEW Highland Cow Toy Pattern<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> when we had almost 1500 names suggested in our competition to choose her name!!! (I think that’s a new\u00a0 record!) So without further ado, here she is…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What fabric can I use to sew this toy Highland Cow?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

I am very excited because Harmony the Highland Cow<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> looks equally good in woven fabrics (like quilting cottons) AND fluffy fabrics like fleece, minky, Shannon’s Cuddle AND Fake Fur!!! There are MORE fabulous feedback photos below BUT here you can see a beautiful Harmony Highland Cow sewn by Caroline Howse<\/strong> – so you can see how FUN Harmony looks in fur!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

LOOK how cute
\n<\/span>Harmony looks from behind!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Fabric TIP:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t need fur – the felt FORELOCK PATTERN PIECE<\/strong> is included in the pattern! (ALL the FLOWER PATTERN PIECES<\/strong>\u00a0are included in the pattern as well!)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

What SIZE is the finished <\/span><\/strong>Highland Cow<\/strong><\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

39cm \/ 15\u00bdinch long and 30cm \/ 12inch tall. She’s a perfect toy for kids or decor item for trendy homes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Courtney Schreiner<\/strong> of Monkey in the Mailbox<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span> sewed this sweet Harmony Highland Cow<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>\u00a0from Shannon Cuddle fabrics\u00a0 – such a sweet sisterly shot! \ud83d\udc9c<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is she easy to sew?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Tester’s feedback was that this would be a pattern for an advanced beginner.\u00a0 I think someone who in mew to sewing might find the small pieces hard to sew – like the ears and hooves… but I wouldn’t let that put you off if you want to sew your own Highland Cow – I bet you CAN! \ud83d\udc4d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here are just some of the lovely feedback photos…<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

This cute keepsake Harmony Highland Cow<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> was sewn from pre loved clothing items by Elizabeth Percival<\/strong> of Dolli-Mixtures Keepsakes<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span>. If you look closely at her FORELOCK<\/strong> you can see that Elizabeth used 2 layers of needlecord sewn together from a piece of clothing! What an adorable memory toy! \ud83d\udc97<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Paula Blevins<\/strong> used short-pile fake fur for her happy little Harmony Highland Cow<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>… with some log-pile fur for her FORELOCK…. and the colour combo of her felt flower looks like she’s wearing a daffodil!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Holly Boatright<\/strong> used some interesting fabrics for her BEAUTIFUL Harmony Highland Cow<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> – I love the leather look of her snout amd hooves!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This happy Harmony Highland Cow<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> sewn by Sandy Thurlow<\/strong> looks like she’s plotting her escape to the heather fields…. or should I say lavender fields!!!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can get an idea of her size – here you can see Harmony the Highland Cow<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> sewn by Lindsey Mortimer<\/strong>, perfectly poised on a pretty garden seat!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
