May 21, 2012 | A day in my life, Blog, FFF News

I’m so excited to show off the brand new Funky Friends Factory toy making KITS!

Korina of Korina’s Kreations has agreed to join me as the OFFICIAL Funky Friends Factory KIT MAKER! She is now coming over once a week to ‘play with fabric’ in the Funky Friends Factory shop with me!

And last but not least  – a Sugar Plum Fairy doll making sewing KIT!

My cloth doll Sugar Plum Fairy Pattern has been so popular and I have had lots of requests for the EXACT fabrics she is made of, so now you can make her JUST like the original! Everything is included in the kits (except toy stuffing – due to bulk) so you’ll have everything you’ll need to make her right down to the velcro spots to attach, and re attach, her fairy wings!

We are busy cutting up MORE new kits and will let you know as soon as they’re ready to go!


It’s been such fun choosing the fabrics for these kits – I hope you like the them?

    I just started toy making. I used felt that was given to me for practice making a doll. How can you know difference between acrylic & wool? Sounds like wool would work best for me, I want to make toys for my 1st grandbaby that’ll last.

    LOVE the kits! That’s the hard part about making stuffies – organizing it all – you’ve taken that hard part and made it easy! Off to go shopping 😀

    Yes, we will have Reggie Kits later in the year, most likely for the October show. Thanks Laurie, a lot of people forget about the time that goes into kitting up – plus going to the shop to get all the materials needed! And if you look at that too – they really are
    a huge benefit!
