First up we have a pretty pink doggy sewn by Ann Leather, with the Kip Keepsake Dog Pattern.💗

Kip Keepsake Dog makes a marvelous MASCOT!! Judy Harding sewed this cute sports mascot using Ohio State Buckeyes highlight fabric!

Puppy Pete Dog pattern

This super cute school keepsake version of Puppy Dog Pete sewn by Kirsty Grandfiled. What a fun way to remember your school days!

 

Here you can see a sweet flowery version of Puppy Dog Pete sewn by Donna Burcham.🌸

 

Faux (fake) fur is awesome for Puppy Dog Pete – even just for his EARS – like Clare Williamson has done.

LOOK at those
fluffy EARS!!!

 

And here you can see a sweet fluffy Puppy Dog Pete sewn by Jennifer Churcher. who used fake fur for the Main fabric and suede for the highlights!

 

And here you can see a sweet pink sherpa and gray minky Puppy Dog Pete sewn by Lisa Maloney. She suggested a pretty name for her too – Petunia – I think that’s perfect!

 

Puppy Dog Pete is very popular as a baby toy as you can embroider the eyes as Jonell Hart has – to make this toy dog baby safe.👶🍼

 

Puppy Dog Pete is an easy pattern to sew – especially in fleece which makes a fun baby toy, like this blue camou fleece fellow sewn by Ginny Murphy.

TIP: Free Christmas Hats Pattern
for you  & your TOYS!🎄🎁

BUT I had so much fun sewing them that I have added to the pattern and included sizing the pattern for kiddies, teenagers/small adults as well as a large adult size so there’s a size to fit everyone!
