You don’t need a CHRISTMAS Pattern to sew a Christmas toy!

ANY Funky Friend can be sewn up for Christmas – just add a Christmassy ribbon or use Christmas fabric.

Looking for free printable tags?

I have a little bonus for you… it is Christmas after all!

Sometimes it can be a challenge to wrap a large toy, so I’ve made some printable gift tags that you can tie on an ear or antler. In addition to the regular “Handmade with Love” tags, I added some that say “Happy Handmade Christmas.”
Just go HERE to print them out. ~>

 

 

 

 

From all the Funky Friends, have a holly jolly Christmas! 🎄

    I love all your patterns, and would love to have all of them. I am disabled and I am trying to buy them as I can. I have the unicorn and and one of the bears and getting ready to buy the t-rex. It may take me awhile, but I will get the ones I really want. Thank you
