This new toy pattern was designed with someone VERY special in mind. Shirls has been one of my biggest fans for SO many years that
I even forget when
I first met her!
…and for ALL these years she’s been P-A-T-I-E-N-T-L-Y waiting for me to design her a pattern that looked like her little pup.
Aww, just look at those EYES!!!
AND finally this year, TOTALLY out of the blue, inspiration hit me – HOORAY!!!
I think the cuteness of this puppy is in those extra large and totally endearing EYES – and after I added the ribbons – I think I could just eat her up!!!! LOL
AND now I am verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry excited to share this adorable puppy with you!
OK, so how does testing work?
We now have over a thousand people applying to test each new pattern, and I just can’t get to read all the applications OR give away that many free patterns each time! So we tried out a new way to do testing (to let as many people as possible be able to test my new patterns) and it worked out really well with the Coco Chameleon testing, so we’ll be doing testing like that again…
So, ANYONE can be a Tester ~>
You don’t have to be a very experienced sewer or even a brilliant toy-maker. You can test the pattern even if you have NEVER sewn a toy before!
BUT, you need to be FREE in the next 10 days!!!
*** We have a deadline!***
You need to be able to sew up the toy and send in the photographs by the deadline date – March 13th, 2022 (In YOUR time zone!) You will need to buy the pattern first and sew a Puppy toy – so you can answer the Feedback Survey questions AND send in photos of your finished toy.
Once your feedback is received ~> you’ll receive a Tester’s THANK YOU VOUCHER* so you can get another Funky Friends Factory pattern for FREE! (* The voucher MUST be used within 30 days on ANY existing Funky Friends Factory pattern.)
What’s GREAT about this~>
1. FFF fans will be able to get two patterns for the price of one!
2. AND I can afford to have UNLIMITED testers!!! 😃
So what do you need to do to be a TESTER?
STEP 1:
BUY the Poppy Puppy pattern by clicking the BIG orange button below…(after you’ve read steps 2 – 4! 😀)
STEP 2:
Sew up the Poppy Puppy pattern then fill out the TESTERS SURVEY HERE.
(The DEADLINE is 13th March 2022 – in YOUR time zone!)
STEP 3:
Send in your photos by the same deadline date…… 👌 PLEASE READ THE following important information about the kind of photos I need 👌
Please submit 2 to 4 photos meeting the following simple criteria:
- More than one angle (ex. Front, side, back)
- Use natural light, outside if possible or next to a window (morning/evening light works BEST!)
- Use a non-distracting backdrop for indoor photos (a blank wall, a plain sheet works well.)
*** If you’d like examples of these types of photos, search for the #toyphotography tag in our Facebook Pattern Fan Club Group search engine. Here’s an infographic we made to explain more about this – >
STEP 4:
This is the cherry on the top ~>>> Once you have submitted your feedback survey and photos we will send you a THANK YOU VOUCHER to buy ANY pattern on the Funky Freinds Factory website.
***Please use the voucher before it expires!***
*** The THANK YOU VOUCHER is valid for 30 days.***

I have finished making Poppy the Puppy and I have taken the survey. I can’t find the email address where I am supposed to submit my photos.
Hi Phyllis – the email address is in the Tester’s Survey! I don’t want to type it here – so please use the contact us page if you are still stuck! 😀 xxx
Oh man. I wanted to be a tester but I was too late. 😞
Hey Arianna, I will be having more opportunities for testing later on so make sure you subscribe to my newsletter so you don’t miss out next time! xxx
I’m a little lost on how to submit the photos?
Hi Janeal – the email address is in the Tester’s Survey! I don’t want to type it here – so please use the contact us page if you are still stuck! 😀 xxx
I enjoyed making this little pup. Thank you for the opportunity to test. I have finished making Poppy the Pup, I’ve taken the survey and submitted the pictures in your email. Thank you
I am trying to find the tutorial for poppy the puppy. I have already bought the pattern and I am trying to make it now. Can you help?
Hi Patty, The link to the photo tutorial page is in the pattern (See me sew section). You need to type that link into your internet browser (in the address bar) because the photo tutorial is not available to the general public! If you do not get to the page, it means you have made a mistake typing the link in. Please try again and you will get to the page – I never take them down!!! 😀 xxx Pauline
