Let’s check out some of the latest entries…\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We had LOTS of lovely witches!<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

This sweet Whitney Witch<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> looks happy it’s nearly Halloween! Christy<\/b> Rupe<\/b> used all upcycled materials to sew this pattern.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Susan<\/b> Johnstone<\/b> gave her Whitney Witch<\/span><\/strong><\/a> some added flair by tying her cape closed with silver ric-rac. I also like the witch fabric on the toy’s chest.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I don’t think we’ve ever had a harvest yellow version of Whitney Witch<\/span><\/strong><\/a>! <\/span>Maria<\/b> Barnes<\/b> posed her autumnal toy in a leafy landscape.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And Jenny Loader<\/strong> dressed her Whitney Witch<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span> in traditional black, but added tiger stripe orange socks. Very fashionable!<\/p>\n

Batty & Boo were popular too!\ud83e\udd87\ud83d\udc7b<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Batty Bat and Boo the Ghost<\/a><\/strong><\/span> are popular non-candy Halloween treats. <\/span>Jenny<\/b> Templeton<\/b> made a whole heap of toys for a school fete! Jenny also added a note that she attached the free Funky Friends Factory copyright credit tags to her toys. You can see them in each little Boo. Thanks, Jenny!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re selling a toy or donating for a charity raffle or auction, make sure to attach a credit tag. You’ll find a free printable <\/span>a free printable HERE.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I love this photo of <\/span>Jessica<\/b> von<\/b> Roy’s<\/b> son surrounded by 25 Boo the Ghost<\/a><\/span><\/strong> toys! Jessica made these for her son’s birthday party at school and gave them to each child in the class with a small orange citrus fruit to act as a pumpkin. What a great birthday treat!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Joy<\/b> Davies<\/b> whipped up some spooky Batty Bats<\/a><\/strong><\/span> with glow in the dark fabric!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I like how Joy used colored felt circles behind the eyes for an extra pop of color.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She made some cute Boo the Ghost toys, too! \ud83d\udc7b\ud83c\udfc6<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Maximus Mouse is a Hit for Halloween!\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Here’s a whole troop of Halloween mice ready to be used as treats for special kids. Each Maximus Mouse<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span> is different! Do you see <\/span>Melissa<\/b> Burleson’s<\/b> cat ready to pounce?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Almira S<\/b> used a selection of vintage Halloween theme fabrics for her trio of Halloween Maximus Mice<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span>. Do you see the Oct 31 date specially placed on one mouse’s paw?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Erica<\/b> Woolmington<\/b> sewed this cute duo from Shannon Fabrics Cuddle brand minky and accents of glow-in-the-dark fabric. Erica likes to make smaller scale toys, so she reduced Maximus Mouse<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span> to 75% for this project!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s a really unique Maximus Mouse! <\/span>Kirstie<\/b> Louise<\/b> Barnett<\/b> sewed up Maximus Mouse<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span> to look like a Frankenstein’s monster using green fabric and a few decorative black stitches.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you’ll get as big a laugh from this entry as I did! <\/span>Lindy<\/b> Meredith<\/b> sewed up Larry Lion<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> in Halloween candy fabric…and then made his a “costume.” \ud83d\ude06<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Wow, there’s a lot of fussy-cutting involved in this Kelsey Keepsake Unicorn<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span>. <\/span>Tonya<\/b> Schuettner<\/b> explains in her caption how she used Halloween fabric panels for the project.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Gertrude Guinea Pig<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> is a great project for using up seasonal fat quarters because she’s meant to have a patchwork look. <\/span>Beth<\/b> Pollard<\/b> used matching Halloween fabric to sew up several Guinea Pigs in varying sizes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You may think of the Valentine’s Love Monster Pattern<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0as a Valentine’s Day option only, but he actually works great for lots of holidays. Love Monster has been submitted in all of the Halloween contests we’ve had! <\/span>Jennifer<\/b> Churcher<\/b> sewed up this sweet, not scary, monster.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Paula<\/b> Blevins<\/b> made this Love Monster into a Halloween hit with orange fleece and patterned accent fabric on the arms.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
