Hi I’m Pauline, this blog is where I share all the latest Funky Friends Factory News, Giveaways, Competitions plus LOTS of toy-making tips & tutorials to help you sew the cutest soft toys EVER!

Name needed for the Meekat Funky Friends Factory Toy Pattern!

May 16, 2022 | Blog, Competitions & Giveaways, NEW Toy Patterns

Yeehar ~ it’s time for a sneak peek of my NEXT toy pattern!

I’m going to reveal JUST ENOUGH for you to get an idea of how the Meerkat toy pattern is turning out ~>

A-Meerkat sewing pattern sneak peek

 

I have managed to get my Meerkat toy to stand up like they do when they are “on guard”… BUT it’s been quite hard for me to capture

their “pointy but precious” faces
in FABRIC!

A-Meerkat-face-dimensions

 

So while I work on my mischievous Meerkat’s face… I thought,

 

Why don’t we have
a naming competition?

 

Meerkat naming Competition details:

Alright…. It can be a boy name, girl name or unisex name…


BUT it must
start with the letter ‘M”.

 

A name beginning with M

 

How do you ENTER?

Please leave me a comment below with your name suggestions for the NEW Meerkat toy pattern.

 

What can you WIN?

If YOU suggest the name that gets selected you will win the pattern!*

*WHEN it’s finally released!

I can’t wait to hear your name suggestions!

Pauline McArthur
Till next time, happy sewing,

Pauline

    For female meerkat, I suggest the name MARVENA as it means “Shecwhom the world leans on” (as in the kids we make these for).

    For a male, MANZOOR, meaning “He who supports the world”.

    Both names are African is is the meerkat.

    We visited a wildlife safari last month. They had a whole Island of Meerkats! They acted like monkeys..very acrobatic-(but you can’t call it Monkey). Of interest; they would not cross the water moat around their little island! (Moatie is not a good name, either)-so instead of being in a cage, they were just loose for people to observe and enjoy. They looked much like raccoons in their faces. (but Coonie does not begin with M).

    Looked at your meerkat somewhat fuzzy photo. Got a great name! He looks like he had one too many Martini’s, and is barely standing up! Ha! Ha! I would name him: “Martini the Meerkat”.
