Designing a dachshund sewing pattern
 

 

I always learn something new when I am researching a new toy pattern. Dachshund’s short legs and long bodies make them unique in the dog world BUT the most amazing things I fiscovered was that there are at least 16 different names for dachshunds!!!

– Dachsie, Daxie, Doxie, Weiner dog, Sausage Dog, Hot dog, Worshond, Teckel, Dackel, Bassotto, Sosis, Perro Salchicha,  Taksis, Jamnik, Train kukka and last but not least… Badger Dog? (a literal translation)!

What does the prize include:

  • My NEW Digger & Dixie Dachshunds Sewing Pattern!
  • ALL the dachshund fabrics you see in this photo below!!

    I call them sausage dogs . My daugther has a sausage dog called Basil. He is one cute, mischievious puppy.

    Official name overhere is Teckel, but often we call them sausagedogs or sausage on legs. Awesome you’re designing a pattern of them!
