Life-like Baby Cloth Dolls by Michele - Australia
Pauline, Thanks so much for sending pattern. Here are the photos of the babies I made. Everyone I show my life-size baby to loves it. This one is going to my nieces school to be raffled for things for her school. Michele

Celeste the blue unicorn by Kat for a mother's day gift
Celeste started out as a pattern and a skein of wide-stripe varigated nylon "yarn". I dug through my high-thread count quilt cottons and came up with the blue print. I didn't quite have enough of it, so I cut the belly/forehead piece out of a gold and cream square. The hooves and horn are from a matching ochre and gold-flecked square.
I like how the overall piece turned out with that color scheme. "Celeste" will wind up as a Mother's Day gift, since my mom collects fantasy critters.

Gertie Gecko by Lea Ann - USA

Hi, Pauline!
Here's a picture of the gecko I made from your pattern. I think he turned out SO cute, and he was a lot of fun to make. I'm sure I'll be making more of these guys!!
Thanks, Lea Ann

CAT TOYS by Tove - Norway

I absolutely love your patterns, I have just recently started sewing, and your patterns are great for me as I just love how easy it is and how well the finished item looks!
I was thrilled when I saw these cat toys as I have been looking for something just like this for some time.
I've only had time to look at the mouse so far, I had some beige and thought the mouse would look adorable in this color.

Kristi's cute Australian baby gift
Thank you so much for the patterns. I thought you would also like a look at Charlie I made for my cousins baby that lives in Japan.
He came home for Christmas looking for Australian "stuff" to give his baby so I made him Charlie and Joey and he absolutely loved them! Just as much his daughter!!
Thank you again for the patterns, Regards, Kristi

Stuffed Toy Monkeys by Marcy - Wisconsin, USA

Mitch the Monkey is awesome!
You did a fantastic job on that pattern and he just turned out adorable.
I had to make another one right away because it was so much fun. Congratulations on another super pattern!

Bright PINK Monkey by Julia - UK

Hi Pauline.
I have finally finished my pink monkey (work does get in the way of fun things doesn't it?), and have included a photo. Her feet aren't really huge, I'm just rubbish at taking photo's!

Boys Toys by Lise - Canada
Hello Pauline ,
Here is the photo of my friend's sons with Randy and Ellie. I made the 2 in one day, your patterns are really easy to follow.
I used a bit furrier material than it called for but it still worked ok,I also changed the colour of the horn of the rhino to match the one he had lost ..so it was a lot of fun.
Thanks again, Lise

Look what Sara made with her Snugglies Pattern!

Hi there!
I wanted to tell you how great the Snugglies pattern is. I made up the dinosaur (bar the stuffing and the eyes) in one afternoon (husband keeping the kids at bay). "Trike", as he is now known, is already loved and has spent the last 2 days being carried about and the nights tucked in with my son - deftly keeping monsters away.
Thanks again for your great pattern!
kind regards, Sara
P.S. I shortened his nose a little & as he's made of felt, the seams are on the outside, but he sure is cute! He's so good I've been getting requests to give him a brother!

Reggie Reindeer x 2 by Marcy - USA

I thought I would send you my pictures of Reggie the Reindeer. I made him
out of two differnt types of material - a smooth felt and a fuzzy acrylic and
it's hard to decide which one is cuter!
Thanks again for your help - I just love these patterns! -Marcy

Reggie Reindeer by Inken - Germany
Reggie was the first Funky Friend I made. I started real early to have him ready for Christmas - but then he took only two afternoons to make, since it was really easy with the clear instructions. So now he's been waiting for Santa since the end of November...
I didn't have a long enough needle to sew the arms and legs on, but I had plenty of joints, that worked just as well.
All the best, Inken

Jake by Val - United Kingdom

I made Jake out of acrylic fur that was in diamonds of white and browns. I have sent a pic because it is hard to describe. I used differant parts so it looks mixed.
Thanks again for such lovely designs

PARTY ANIMAL by Val in Cape Town, South Africa
Hi Pauline

Here he is!!! Had you been to a party when you wrote the instructions? It says one piece on the arm pattern and four on the foot. Never mind it kept me awake and we had a laugh. I had a job buying fleece because it is summer here in Cape Town so I ended up using a mix of fleece and a ribbed t.shirt material. The little dinosaurs are cut out so they will follow.
Best wishes, Val

Jake Puppy by Jennie - Sweden
I am so glad you like my ”cross breed” dog! I have used two colours of Schulte mohair, actually a sparse one but 1” long. For the patch I just made an easy solution, cutting out a piece and then glue it on with textile glue (before inserting the eye).

Jenny's Bedtime Teddy Lavender Bag

Hi Pauline. I thought you might like to see my additions to Honey.
I was lookin for a present for a friends daughter, namely something to keep her warm over the cold Canberra winter. I enlarged my Honey pattern and then inserted a velcro opening on her tummy. I then made a little wheat and lavender bag to go into her. She was quick and easy and a very big hit!
Thanks for the great patterns.

A new twist on Honey Teddy by Jo-Australia
I thought I would do something different with Honey the bear as I was making it for a baby. You will see from the photos that I have made her belly a record for baby's birth and milestones details. I have called it "My Remem-Bear". I typed the details on the computer and then used a transfer onto the material. I have also put an "It's a Boy" and "It's a Girl" ribbon around the neck and the parents can remove one or the other once the baby is born.

Ducklings by Renee - Australia
I finally got round to taking some photos!! I've made 2 of Dilby, 2 of Honey and 2 Platypuses too...but my boyfriend hijacked the blue one.
I haven't started on Lambkins yet. I'm getting a sewing machine of my own for my birthday, so I thought I'd wait for that, instead of using Mum's again.
Thanks!, Renee

Patchwork Ellie Elephant by Patti - Ohio USA
Look what I made while you were sleeping... God must be on my side as I really needed this for our grand daughter Ellie. We are leaving tuesday to see her. She has just turned one. I am making a matching quilt (made of same victorian flannel prints.)
She has no eyes because it's safer for the baby!
Sleep well and thx a bunch!

Scrap Snake by Clare - Australia

I have sewn since garde 3 and am retiring in Nov 2008 so I am looking froward to having more "me" time. I checked out your website, my computer skills are limited, & you certainly have many happy customers. Congratulations & I look forward to making many more of your cuties.

Plattie the Platypus by Stephany - Canada
Of course you can put him on the gallery I would be honored! It would show people that they can make him out of any material. Thank for saying he was cute, I think he is my best creation ever and with such a great pattern he was a snap to make. He will be like a celebrity plush! Fantastic!

Huge Joey Junior Kangaroo by Anna - Australia
Hi Pauline,
Just wanted to share a pic of my eldest daughter holding our latest creation from your patterns! I have a friend who has a copier that can print up to size A0, so I think it was about that, and the fabric was some left over from upholstery fabric I used to cover an old couch, I’m not sure exactly what it is but it is kind of like velvet.

Ester made an Ellie for her boyfriend...

Hi Pauline,
I just thought I'd drop you a line and let you know that Ellie came out well. Her name is Eileen and Laurence was delighted with her. Here's a little picture of her, I used corduroy to line the ears and feet and filled the feet with rice to give them a bit of weight.
Best wishes,
Esther.

Abi's beautiful babies!
Abi has made Ellie Elephant from bright red corduroy for her son Jack.
He looks so happy with his new toy, but HOW did she get him to sit so still for the photo?

Julia Richards, (on Tour in Leeds)
I have recently bought your pattern for Randy the Rhino and I am absolutely delighted with it. I play in a Blues Brothers theatre show and our band is called The Black Rhino Band. I have always enjoyed toymaking and have been looking all over for a pattern for a Rhino to make as a mascot. I wouldn't have believed it would be so hard to find. After weeks of looking I was very excited to come across your site. I have already made Randy, using dark grey fleece (for a black rhino of course), and he looks fab. I think I may have to make one or two more for other members of the band!! Julia

Funky Fleece hats by Donna Davis (Australia)
Prooving that one size fits all? Rebecca is the proud BIG sister!
Frog Family by Vicki Janse ( Canada)

My family is a little bit frog crazy so when I saw your pattern, I just had to have it! I've made 8, 4 for my children and 4 extra to use as gifts. My boys didnt want the crown on theirs and my oldest wanted a ‘tree frog’ with orange hands. My daughter loved her pink frog until I put the eyes on it. Now it is a birthday gift for her friend Gracie. I am being commissioned to make another pink frog without eyes! The mind of a 4-year-old?????

Horsey - by Lynn (USA) Thanx! I made the horse of tie-dye stretch velvet~~everyone loved her!

Tilly Tortoise - by Nirit (Israel) I finally finished Tilly and I think she is really cute! The press studs work really well too! I sewed the two points near the tail and all 4 others can be opened.
