Roar means “I love you in dinosaur!” Which is one of our favorite funky friends, but these little monsters are simply too cute. We will have to whip some up for some gifts for our distance learning friends!

Every pattern is adorable and every animal I make and give away is so loved. I like to weight and slightly stuff Ellie the Elephant. She has to be my favorite to sew. I would love to win the moose pattern as we live in the mountains and I believe it would be so fun for every holiday fabric. I sew all my funky friends up in minky fabrics. They are so soft and adorable.
I would love the moose or dachshund! Both are quite adorable.

Ellie Elephant plus all the others 🤣
I just love sewing the animal patterns! I especially love it when I get to see a kiddos face light up when they realize they have a one of a kind stuffy made just for them😃
The Love Monster is cute✨ but I especially like Ellie the elephant 🐘

I love your patterns. Each one is so adorable.
You have so many cute patterns it’s hard to decide, but I think I would like the fox pattern. Thanks for your creativity!!
I do like them all , but probably the Honey Bear because I am a true Teddy Bear Collector, and I think if I used a little less stuffing on this Bear , so it would be a little more, floppy and moves easier,, and not so tightly stuffed! The bears face has to have some character to it , so I can make it very unique and, make it one fantastic more lovable Bear !!!
I’d love a monster pattern buts been so hard to choose as all are brilliant
I would just love to win a bear. Patern please. I would be making a memory bear with something I have of my mums.
I would like to make a monster, I never thought about making him a hug monster.
Ooh, I love your patterns but it’s so fun seeing how different fabric choices and combos affect the finished toys too! I think those choices make ever toy so unique. Being Canadian but living abroad I’d love to make the moose – just fabulous! Thanks.
All of the plushies are sooo cute with Valentines fabric!
Hi, I would really like to make the Patch Kitty Cat please x
These are all so cute! I’d love to sew up a hippo for my sister!
So generous! For Valentine’s Day I would love to make either Melody Memory Bear or Patch Pussy Cat
I am a big Guinea Pig fan, I would love the Guinea Pig pattern to make for my granddaughters in replica of their piggies.
I would love to make a trunk up, lucky elephant out of wonderful colourful brocade fabric. It would be a combination of Valentine’s and Happy Chinese New Year expression of best wishes and love. Also, since it’s the year of the Ox, a bull/ox in a lovely heart pattern would be wonderful too. ♥♥♥

I love the patterns! For years I made bears for family members for holidays. Yout patterns are so cute, and I can expand my collection of ‘stuffed’ friends! Thanks for the chance to win!

I would love to sew the lion, or Pete the puppy!

Hi Pauline. I think Randy Rhino would make quite a handsome Valentine.
My granddaughter would love to see Love Monster pattern
I would love to sew Ellie Elephant! I had a stuffed elephant as a toy as a child! I still have mine, but its missing an ear which was made of a plastic type material. He was fashioned from a soft type of corduroy material. Would love to give as a gift to our friends new grandson. He was born with hydrops fetalis. It is a rare condition in which only about 20% live. He is a week old now and still fighting!
Ohhh..the pictures posted have inspired me to dig through my stash and find Valentine fabrics to use when I make my next Funky Friend. Now…which friend will it be?
I just joined your group and started making your “Funky Friends” in the last month. I love all of the stuffed toys that I have seen:) I would like to win the snake pattern.

A moose! I would love a moose. I could make plaid mooses!
I would love to sew a red panda pattern!
I would love to sew Joey Junior Kangaroo for Valentine’s day. Joey has been on my want list for quite some time now so I can recreate(almost) a beloved toy from my childhood. Jake the puppy will be next after Joey.
I really love Fifi Fox and the Easter Bunny Buddies All the Funky Friends patterns are amazing, it’s so hard to choose!
I’d make an elephant as a valentine’s cuddly. I love elephants, always have, and elephants never forget x
I love all of your patterns so this is a tough choice but I think my favourite of the ones I don’t already have would be the T-Rex.
I made the bear with the buttons for moveable arms and legs… he was loved … I would love the dachshund dog .. xx thanks
I am in the process of sewing pete the dog with a mix of mine and the hubby’s clothes that we had on our first date. Nicknaming him puppy love. And will be our valentine’s day gift.
I love all the patterns! I really like the moose. My daughter and I visited Alaska several years ago and the moose was very relevant then. I would love to make one for her!
Oh I’d love to sew either Fifi the Fox or Crocodile Steve! I have many of your patterns already & love them ❤️ Thank you for this awesome opportunity.
Pauline, Hi!
I just wanted to say thank you for the free tutorial on making these little critters. I have been sewing for decades and really have just started sewing toys, so I found the information very helpful, and the added videos were extremely helpful as well. What I love about sewing is that no matter how much you know you can always learn more. It is great when folks share their knowledge, it makes everyone feel more connected, something we all really need right now. Thanks again!
Ahh so cute. I’m starting my first one so may change the melody nose to a heart shape!!
My friend is about to have a rainbow baby and she loves lambs!
I’d be so happy to win and make her a baby lamb! (I already have the perfect fabric too)
OMG I have just seen Heather the Hedgehog!! I’m known as the Hedgehog Lady because I rescue wildies and I have a pygmy called Dumbledore…..and my name is Heather!! I can’t believe it! That is the adorable pattern I would have to make!!
I love these cute Valentine’s toy ideas! My mom sewed dresses for tiny teddy bears for us one Valentine’s day, and they are still my very favorite present all these years later.
That is so lovely! I would love to sew the goose. I keep coming back to that one since my husbands favorite animal are gooses. Would also make a heart pillow on which my goose could stand on.
Melody bear is really nice pattern for valentine’s ;he could hold a heart or just make him with some “hearty” fabric..
Or maybe T-Rex, just to be a little different and have an egde..
I think the duckling would be adorable in valentine’s day print!
I would like to make Honey Bear. I enjoy all your patterns.
Keep me keepsake bear, love the example posted above. Would love to try machine embroidery on those yummy little foot pads and tummy!!! I have 8 grands that would love this cute bear!!!
I love all of the critters!!
I think that the love monster is too cute! I would like to make and send them to little nieces and nephews,
For me i think it would be FiFi fox. My 5 year old daughter collects foxes but she’s not got a ‘mummy’ handmade version. I’m thinking in red and white with black boot feet! 😍
I bought the cow pattern will have to make it using heart fabrics
I haven’t met a funky friend that I do not like- I want to make them all!! But right now I think I would like to try the peacock:)
I think I would love to make the love monster. I have made the dragon and loved it.

I would like to make the little bear you have on your shoulder. I don’t know it’s name but I think it’s so cute. You’re first I’m thinking first memory bear is the best! I’ve made the pig, and the rabbit just cute as can be.
Love your patterns! They are all so cute!
I would love to do a Valentine’s Diggle the Dragon!
It is a tough decision, but the Valentine’s versions of the hedgehog and elephant make me want to try one of those next. ❤️
I love the look at the peacocks too
I would love an elephant pattern to sew a memory elephant using my sons old baby clothes, plus I’d love to make an elephant made with the fleece fabric as shown above, it looks so cuddly and I’d never thought to use fleece fabric before for the animal patterns. So tactile!
I would love to make the T Rex. That is my granddaughter’s favorite dinosaur. Thank you for the opportunity. You are very generous.
I would love to sew an iguana for my son. It is on my pattern wish list!
I’d love to sew the Moose! I would make one for each of my kids.
I would love to try the Keepsake bear with some gorgeous heart fabric or just in pink or red fabric to spread the love around! Love all of your patterns!
My next project would be the elephant. I’ve made the honey bear, memory bear, butterfly and bee. My grandson (18 mon) loves them and two more grandkids are set to arrive this spring.
It’s so hard to choose 😍 and after seeing the different fabric choices it is even harder! I’d either want to make the Easter Bunny Buddies or the Harper the Happy Hobby Horse. My two kiddos would love to run around in those. ❤️
I’d love to have the “bed time baby doll” – I’d find some cute valentine’s print for their pajamas … I have 2 great-grand kids (toddlers, a boy & a girl).
I know they’d love to get a special doll from me, even the little boy would love it
This sounds FUN!
I hope to get one!♡♡♡
Puppy Pete for sure! I know just the person who needs him in his arms!
I love the moose pattern! *So* cute!!! My only grandchild, a little girl, would love him. Actually, probably not since she’s only two month’s old. But I can make him and keep him until she’s a bit older.
I can hardly wait to sew for her! <3's y'all!
Oh, I’d LOVE to win a Butch and Bella Bulldog pattern. My husband and I are active volunteers for several Bulldog rescue groups. Some of them have fundraiser auctions and making a few of these adorable Bulldogs would certainly help raise money to help care for the rescued dogs’ medications, food,vet bills, surgeries, etc. Thank you for your consideration. Ann Ford (USA)
Ohmygoodness all of these photos are adorable!! I especially like the T-Rex and Digger Daschund! I’d love to sew Digger for Valentine’s Day. He reminds me of a stuffed animal I had as a kid in the 70s.
There are a few i would like, but next, I would love a bee to add to my ever growing collection, if I win. I have a few ideas for bees 🐝 🥰 xx
I would love to try the bumble bee pattern. It’s so cute!! Butch bulldog is a close second, though. 😁
Happy Valentine
I would like to have Fifi Fox.
Your teddy pattern is what got me into sewing! Thank you!
Love the elephant and the . done in Shannon Valentine Cuddle
I would love to sew the elephant. His big ears are perfect for birthdates, ornames to personalize. It would make Rhee perfect gift
Just love your patterns. First time ever I have picked up a pattern, cut it and have every piece fit. Thank you so much. It makes sewing toys so much more enjoyable.
Sorry, forgot to add would love Diggles the Dragon.
Its really hard to choose as i love each and everyone of your patterns. But as i already own quite a few, i think it would have to be the dinosaur. Whom i would make for my grandson. Who already owns my heart ❤❤❤
I like the Dachshund pattern. I work with several Dachshund Rescue groups who periodically hold auctions to raise money for dogs that need medical care. I always donate handmade items to sell in the auctions. If I could donate a stuffed dachshund, it would bring in a nice donation to the group.
<3
I love the moose. It is so sweet <3 <3 <3
Sewing a fox with a cute heart nose would be adorable !
I would love to sew Mickey Moose for Valentines Day!!
My little guy loves all things dinosaurs. I would love to be able to make him a plush T-Rex.
So many cute choices! Really love the elephant, but also the Monster. If I win guess I’d go with the elephant first. Thanks !
All the Funky Friends are so adorable, it is so hard to decide which one I want to make next. I think my new baby step-grand-daughter needs a butterfly!
I want to make a honey bear with hearts on it for Valentines Day!!!!!
What a lovely gesture. I think I would do Honey Bear
I want the little dacshound dog Digger. I love your patterns and have quite a lot. My granddaughters love them also. Every time I get a new pattern, they have to have an animal
Your patterns are heartwarming! Looking forward to your new creations.
I would like to sew the butterfly pattern, so cute. Your patterns are great and easy to follow, love them all.
After making my poor husband listen to hundreds of T.rex facts during my palaeontology units, I’d love to make him a T.rex plush.
Ok, I lie, I want to make ME a T.rex!!
I would like to sew the fairy princess doll❤️
Randy the Rhino would be a fun
Pattern.
All the Valentine’s makes are beautiful x I’d like to make my Valentine an elephant as he is cuddly with big ears that listen and never forgets ❤
I would love to try the Patch kitty cat pattern. It looks so adorable in so many fabrics.
I would love to sew the moose pattern, I think he is amazing.
I have many of your patterns, I love them alot so easy to follow and super cute once made.
I would love to try your bee pattern, everyone loves a bee here in England!
I posted Mickey the Moose on my fb and intagram
I would like to sew the T-Rex because that is my grandson’s name. Thomas Rex or T-Rex or even T.
Absolutely love all these patterns! They’re so easy to follow and love the step by step with pictures! Now I need to figure out which one to sew up for my baby’s first Valentines!
my favourite to make is Pete the puppy but would love to make the whale and embroider on the side “Lets have a whale of a time together”.
I like many of your stuffed animals, like the moose, and your dolls, especially the Daisy Dress Up Dolls.
I tried tweeting this blog post, but it didn’t do a picture. So I pinned the moose.
I love all these toys. So many great ideas with fabric. I would love to sew Gregory Gorilla. He is so cute!
Adorable ….love the moose!
I think Calico Bear would make a sweet Valentine gift,
We were to be in Canada/Alaska for our 20th Wedding Anniversary last September and our greatest wish on this ‘Bucket List’ trip was to see wild bears and moose in their natural habitat…so to make the Funky Friends Moose in Valentine prints would be such a beautiful gift to give my hubby. Would so very much love to win ! 🙂
I love Goats! So my next project is going to be the Giddy Goats pattern.
Oh that t-rex, be still my beating heart!! If I don’t win him, I will buy him haha!
I would love to make the baby goat!
Would love to sew the lion. I love the mane around its head
They are all so beautiful. Thanks for all the inspiration you give us.
I would love the keepsake bear as I would make it for my daughter
I’d love to try out the peacock! I’ve been accumulating recycled sari fabrics and I think they’d go great together.
Loving all those cute fabrics for the Funky Friends patterns! People are so creative in their choice of fabric….gives me great ideas!
Your patterns are ALL so adorable! How do you pick just one? I think Slowpoke the SLoth would be so cute for Valentine’s Day.
I love your animal patterns, my favorite one is Puppy Dog Pete. Thank you for your wonderful patterns and ideas.
I would love to make my daughter an orca as it is her favorite animal and she wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up, but that love monster has stolen my heart!!
I think I would like to sew the fifi fox next or maybe Ellie elephant
Would love to try the calico bear pattern. I made the manatee for my grand nephew and he loves it!
LOVE your patterns. Easy to make & fun to give.
Oh my goodness that Pink Moose is Amazing – that is definitely the pattern I’d love to make ❤️
I-Guana Love You 4 Ever ❤️
A lovely Igor Iguana may not quite be as cuddly as a bear but his personality will keep you enchanted.
Oh my goodness, its soo hard, there is so many patterns I want but I’m really really infatuated with the dragon, I cannot wait to make that one.
It’s hard to choose which I would love to make for valentines as I love them all! But I think I would love to make a sloth for my H2B as they are just the cutest!
Shared to my page on Facebook ‘Steph ‘Tinkabel’ Tinkham’
I love all of your patterns but I would love to sew a dinosaur next xx
All of your patterns are cute. The several that I have made, have been easy to make following your detailed instructions. Hard to decide which one I will try next, maybe Mickey Moose. I love to see what others have done with their toys to make them unique.
I love all your animals 🥰🥰
Valentines is such a loving holiday and these animals all looks soo cute in their white and red. Im not monkeying around id love to sew them all, but the monkey will be an awsome win..😜😉
Frog Prince Charming is the next one that I want to make and I think that he would look fabulous in a Valentine print.
I would love to make my daughter, who will be 36 on Feb 15, a hippo she loves them.
I’m torn between Digger and Fifi fox. One day I want to make them all!!
Digger reminds me of the old autograph puppies, and my grandson is so into Foxes and wants to be one so its a true true being torn situation. You can flip a coin for me and pick! LOL
I would love Kangaroo pattern to send overseas.Thank you
I love Bill the Bald Eagle, he is my favorite

I love the Heather Hedgehog and the Peacocks, in the cute valentines fabric. They are sew so cute. Your patterns are all sew cute it is really hard to pick a special one.
Pauline, your patterns are so amazing!
I’m making an ark-full of pairs of your animals for my great nephew, Noah, who is 5. 😀
I would love to make your lion for one of the first of these animals because he has an August birthday like his great Auntie.
Thank you and be well!
All of the examples are so adorable! I think I would want to make a cockatoo with a pink heart on the belly ❤️
Such characters. Such personality. What imagination! Love them!
I love so many of the toys on today’s blog. For me there’s only one must for a Valentine’s toys – it has to have the cuddle factor. So even though the quilting cottons are cute, it’s fleece or fur to me this time
I would love to sew the strutting Peacock for my Valentine. A lovely soul mate for him, birds of a feather stick together!
I love all the FFF patterns as they are so cute and very easy to follow. I think I might adapt my elf pattern to make a valentines teddy. ♥️
I love these patterns! There is a touch of whimsy in each pattern that makes it lovable and likable. I have the Moose pattern and I have not made it yet. Too many projects on the back burner. When I do make it, I will choose a bright fabric such as Kaffe Fassett’s pink paperweight fabric. It will be my happy Moose place!!
Ooooh! Love all the bears. But I think Kitty Kate would be for me. We have a visiting neighbor kitten and he looks up with that sweet expression, just before he pounces. He’s a bit of trouble.
My husband and I collect penguins and I would love to make a Funky Valentine penguin for him! Or maybe a Heart-y Dinosaur for my grandson.
I think I would love to sew the Digger Dachshund. But they are all soooo cute!
I was inspired by your blog and finally did a heart-nose on Wodger today. I was tickled with how it turned out! Thank you so much for all of your hard work!!
I’m slowly sewing my way through your Funky Friends Factory patterns but I think if I had to choose it would bee the bee for Valentines
oooooh that’s a tough choice! i love the heart noses idea on the bears!!! but i also love the idea of dilby duck with a heart on his belly. oh! or maybe slowpoke the sloth hugging a heart?! can we all just take a week off to sew all the stuffies?
Oh my those are all so cute. I would love to sew the T Rex Pattern for my Dino loving boy 😁
Pauline- I love making your amazing patterns for my 7 young Grandchildren for special occasions and just because….
I think I would make a Kitty Kate as it might be better behaved than my real live kitty!
Picking just one is hard because I love all the patterns but I haven’t made a Digger Dachshund yet so that’s my choice for now.
Loving your patterns. There is simply one for anyone and for any occasion. 💕
I love your patterns. They are well-written and easy to follow. I especially love the cat patterns!
I would love to make Puppy Pete. He looks adorable. It will help to keep me busy whilst in lockdown.
There are so many more of your patterns I would like to make…..but I would love the giraffe pattern next. My daughter’s favourite animal and she has just moved into her first home and it would a lovely moving in present for her ❤🦒
Wow what an inspiration! So many to choose from! I’ve just got my sewjo back by making the elephant…but I’d love a go at the moose x
I think the Calico bear would be beautiful in Valentines fabric. I would like to make Ellie Elephant or the Orca or Dolphin or Rhino or Hippo…… oh so many patterns and so little money.!
Can’t you just see the Hippo in white fabric with colorful candy hearts all over it? So cute!!!!
Omg. Live all the patterns shown but the peacock is adorable.
I have so many of your patterns (20 to be exact), but there’s still more that I’d like. The Izzy Insomniac teddy bear, Raff (Giraffe), Dizzy Dolphin, Lloyd and Alice.
The t-rex by Tinawinterborne is so cute! I would also love to sew a t-rex!
The lion for me 🦁 everyone’s lions are amazing!! The more I look at them with the beautiful material the more I would like to sew a lion 🦁
I’d love to make slowpoke the sloth, my eldests favourite ❤️
Hi Pauline,
All the Valentine toys that others had made are adorable. I would love to win either Ollie the Owl or Kitty Kate. I love your entire collection and have a few but these two were my favourite. Thanks for the chance to win and I wish everyone good luck!
I love all your patterns. They are all so inspirational. I think I would like to make a digger dutchund pattern toy to share the love with other animal lovers too.
So many adorable creations and they all have heart! I see one, want to make that one…then another, maybe make that one…then the next one…oh my, oh my…so many wonderful ideas.
My great nieces love chickens and I would like to sew one for them.I enjoy seeing what Katrina makes with your patterns here in Cairns
Oh my, they’re all so precious!
Love the FFF pattern options- hands down the best website for plush patterns that I have found to date. 🙂
All your wonder patterns can be made in so many different materials that there is a pattern to be made for any occasion or for so many different people from fathers to mother, sisters, brothers, From baby to someone who is elderly. There is a pattern to suit everyone for every occasion
Puppy Pete is just the sweetest.
I am addicted to making all of them! I am currently making to lemurs (I always make 2 of each) and my husband made me some shelfs to store them on.
I would love to make Hannah Hedgehog for my 17 yo hedgehog loving daughter for Valentines day!
I’d love to make Kylie Kookaburra for my granddaughter to show her what that bird looks like. Her mom sings her “Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree” every night right before she goes to bed, but since they live in Pennsylvania she isn’t likely to ever see a real one!
I shared Digger Dachshund to my Facebook.
I would really love to win a free pattern. I love all of them!!!!
I’d love to sew any Funky Friends toy… But I can’t sew! Luckily my wife can and she makes lots of Funky Friends. Her latest makes are from the Ellie Elephant pattern which I bought her for her birthday.
Elli elephant is adorable
I choose the moose pattern and shared it on my Facebook page Debbie Cartin
It’s so hard to make up my mind which one I would love to do because they all would look beautiful as a Valentine toy, but since I can only pick one I think I would love to do Ellie Elephant I think she would look so cute made in the Valentine fabric and I would keep her for myself although I’m in my 70’s I wouldn’t give her to any of the kids for Valentines.
I’d like to make the elephant to add to the bears and soft dolls I’m making for pediatric dept.
Would definitely love to make Ellie Elephant, so beautiful, especially as my best friend is about to have her first Bub. What a gorgeous gift that would make!
I have made the dragon , the platypus, have pattern for the terrier and dashound and have room for more. Slowly building up my collection. I would love an other Funky Friend Pattern and if I was lucky enough would love either the hedgehog or elephant. Thank you for the opportunity to be to go in the draw.
All the patterns are the easiest to follow
Just bought the moose and I am in love 💙💕
I would love to make digger Dash hound.
Love your patterns.
Love ….love… love all your patterns, but my super favourite will be the keepsake or melody bear pattern.
Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️
I love them all, but that Valentine T-Rex is absolutely adorable. I’d make one of those. Or maybe two, or three!
They are all amazing. Would love to sew Heather Hedgehog
It’s such a hard decision as I love all the patterns! But to get one free out of all those on my list would be amazing. I’m torn between the dinosaur or the moose!
I think the moose pattern is adorable. Ideal way to spread some luv.
I love your patterns! I think I found your online shop first time in 2013 and got a bunch of patterns back then. And then more and more throughout the years. They are fantastic 🍀
Monty the Manatee would be the next to choose.
Love your patterns and tutorial was great
Loving the lion, perfect for an upcoming new arrival
Love the peacock.
I love all of these cute little friends but I think I would like to try and the elephant for my first project.
I love the love monster he doesn’t have to be just for Valentine but anytime you want a squeeze ❤️❤️❤️❤️
They are all so gorgeous! I think my favourites are the Hedgehog and the peacock! xxx
I’d love to sew all of your amazing patterns, but I just can’t decide where to start – think I’d love to start on the cat first, or maybe the bunny? Or the moose? See my dilemma? No, definitely the cat 🐈 x
How can I choose???? I love them all ❤
I think I’d have to choose Timmy the T Rex though, for my granddaughter because she is dinosaur mad and the T Rex is her favourite!
I would love to make the bee for Valentines Day. But all if the patterns are awesome.
Love all your patterns. Many to choose from.
I love these guys they are all so cute! I want to sew a Dino for my granddaughter.
I love all your patterns Pauline I am going to but the 3 patterns soon the memory bear and 2 others but would love start making toys and your patterns look so easy thank you for the chance to win a pattern for valentines day
Any pattern would be wonderful. Diggles the Dragon would be fantastic
I love Fifi Fox… looks just like my Rocky, a chihuahua pom terrier mix! I also saw your Moose you made and it rocks too! Reminds me of my Aunt Julie who is in her 80’s, lives in Calif., and she loves moose! It is so adorable!!! All of your patterns are great. Nice work and I like the way you just showed how we can change things up like for Valentine’s Day! Thanks much! Prayers and fingers crossed!
I have a number of your patterns,so easy to make, my grandsons would really love the t-rex dinosaur. Their birthdays are coming up soon.
Jenny
I think the Diggy the Dragon would look awesome in a wild heart fabric with glittery wings!
Love these!!
Larry Lion would ne my choice. His mane would be great with lots of hearts
I would love to sew the moose. It’s so cute!
Such a hard decision!!! I think I want the the T-Rex though. I need more boy stuff😍
I would love to make the Daisy Dress Up Doll.
She looks so sweet and I am sure she will be easy to make with your great instructions
Lucky the Labrador please. I miss mine.
Nearly finished my first teddy.
I’d love to sew Diggles the dragon. My SO loves dragons and that would be the perfect gift for him!
❤️ Valentines Day ❤️ Funky Friends make my heart feel young again.
🐉 Biggles the Dragon 🐉 for me please.
Dig goes the dragon. Poor eyesight. Cheers
Diggles Diggles Diggles
I posted Micket Moose to my FB site. They are all so darned cute but he reminds me of my Aunt Julie in California. She’s in her 80’s and loves moose!!! Thanks for the chance again!!! xo… Peg in Pa.
I think I’d have to sew a Love Lion and make his mane out of heart patterns but also get some little plastic hearts to embellish his mane as well.
I would live to sew Trixie Triceratops. I think that frill will pop with some heart material. An A-Rawr-able valentine.
Pour la Saint-Valentin, j’aimerais coudre un koala ou un hippopotame ce serait tellement cool avec des petits coeurs et de l’amour partout!
I’d love to win the Flamingo for valentines.
All the funky friend patterns are amazing, it’s so hard to pick the best one! I think I’d choose the Seahorse for my son to go with his collection of nautical things. A new friend for his cuddly fish! Thank you Pauline for all these lovely Patterns 🧸🙂
I’d like to sew the horse one for a friend who has recently lost her beloved 4 legged friend. I plan to sew it from his blanket.
I’d like to try making a memory bear I’ve had a few friends recently loose a parent
I love your creativity! Your patterns are sensational and I’d love to make the puppy dog.
All so adorable and inspired by your amazing patterns . I have so many on my wish list but my next one has to be a moose for my mums birthday. She collects then to remind her of my step father who’s nickname in the army was ‘moose’ .
Ooo Fleur the flamingo in lovely pink and red with hearts on her wing (heart on her sleeve?)
I’d like to make a petunia pig to send to a dear friend of mine who runs a pig sanctuary and and has a young family. Her children would love it. Would have to make more than one though😘
I would love to make the moose for Valentine’s Day.
We have our first grand child on the way in March 2021,haven’t been able to see my daughter all throughout her pregnancy as she is a Nurse on the Covid ward here in the UK so would be really nice just to make something special for our new grandson. All your patterns are wonderful so very hard to choose a favourite.
I can’t decide. I think one of the bears, but the cat is so adorable too.
I would like the dinosaur pattern and make it look like Nessy from just up the road here in Scotland.
There are so many gorgeous patterns to choose from! After much deliberation I think I would pick “Puppy Dog Pete” as my Valentine’s make as he’s such a sweetie x
I shared on Instagram- I’m going to see if my followers can guess which pattern I picked too m 🙂
These stuffed animals are so adorable . I would love to sew them. I am new to sewing. Thank you for letting me post to your blog
Hi so impressed with everyone’s funky friends have a lot of the paterns but still a few on the wish list will eventually get them all . Granddaughter is just so taken with them all and even my 84yr old mum just loves her iguana haven’t got time to make a valentine animal trying to get some rabbits made for Easter whilst working as a nurse in aged care
Couldn’t think of anything else better to do than sit at my sewing machine all day making some fabulous cuddlies .
I think it would have to be a koala for my koala mad little boy. I’ve got over 20 of your lovely patterns already, but this one I need! I’m always making them for other people and forget to make them for my own children!
Hi, all your pattern are beautiful. I think a dragon is a good choice for vaentins day, because a dragon can be everthing – funny, nice, lovely, dangerous, take car of you. Look at Elliot from Disney – he is so nice !
I love your moose, but I would love to make a Jack Russell for a young man whose dog was run over. Your patterns are so good I know it would be lovely.
I would love to sew a cat❤️
Do I have to choose? I can’t… 😳
Whitney, Sue, Sparkles, Oreo, Oscar and Mickey. 😁
Oscar and Oreo would remind my girls if our trip to Canada in ’17 (who knew otters could make so much noise eating? 😳).
Sue for the squirrels in our garden (here they are not very common and we love them).
Whitney reminds me of a witch my grandma had in her house.
Sparkels because I just looove seahorses! Could be so cute as a unicorn too.
Finally, Mickey reminds of a dear friend from AUS, whom I haven’t seen for many, many years (I live in northern Europe).

The moose pattern is the sweetest. But I love each and everyone.
I love all the patterns. For me I would love to do a T. rex for my son as he’s my Valentine 🥰💝
Hugs

So many people I want to
Hug
I would love to have a go at making the beautiful butterfly!
I think I’d have to go traditional with the monsters – my two kiddies would love them, but I also love the dashund! He’d look so snuggly in a heart fleece fabric ❤️❤️
LOVE your work and your patterns. Can’t wait to try one out myself!! ❤️😊
I love your patterns I have only brought 2 so far but I really love them I think the next pattern will be izzy-insomniac-teddy-bear there’s just to many to chose from
I love them all but if I get to pick I would choose the butterfly or the love monster my grandchildren would love them as much as me
I love all your patterns but mainly use the calico bear to create keepsakes and memory bears for people. It would be wonderful to add Heather the Hedgehog to my collection as we live in Hedgehog Cottage! 🦔❤🦔🤞
These are all so fun.
I would like the butterfly for valentine
I would sew a Calico Bear, for our grandson, as the one he was given from his other Grandma has long since perished, after 23 years of constant love. We both did repairs over the years, but Diana has since passed away, and this would be one more way I can keep her in all our lives every day.
The otter would be adorable holding a little heart! One of the few I don’t have and one I’ve definitely been wanting to add for a while!
I love all your patterns ♥️. I’ve sewn a few and love how easy the instructions are to follow.
I’m new to toy making but hope to make all of your fabulous fabric creations . Can’t make my mind up which to choose either the elephant or moose.
I’d make a cute valentines bunny. Just think with the floppy ears it could be super cute ❤️
I am in love with the flamingo pattern!! My valentine’s tree theme is flamingos and hearts this year.
I love all your patterns but would love to see a valentines triceratops!
I would live to sew a Valentine toy – what to pick though. So many beautiful choices ❤️ X
Love all your patterns!
I would love to make the daschund for my children’s teachers. They are working very hard during lockdown here in the UK and my children are missing the school dog Dexter.
All your patterns are so cute! The little Joey Kangaroo is so cute!
Love these patterns I have bought a few but need more I love the different bears I have the melody bear but need to try calico bear
T-Rex for me please
I posted a picture of the puppy with hearts on my Facebook page.
Have shared post on Facebook
Love your patterns
I love all your patterns but I think I would love Larry the lion pattern if I were to win. Inspired by the photos in this post, I shall be adding hearts to the nose & side of my almost finished Honey Bear
I’d like to try one of the newer patterns for Valentine’s Day. I mean seriously, wouldn’t you love a Licorice “Love” Lemur? Although, I’m thinking a heart on Trixie Triceratops’ tuchus would look pretty cute, too!
I would love to make the dog pattern for my daughter
Can I please have a beginner pattern as I am just learning.
I would love to use some lovely Valentine’s themed fabric to make your beautiful elephant soft toy ❤️ elephants never forget! 🐘
I currently only use the Calico bear pattern, I’d love to try any of the others, they’re so great!
I think I wouid love to sew Fifi Fox or Larry the lion! I thihk they’ll look adorable in red and pink colours.
I have just made the lion – I love it. The pattern fitted beautifully. I would love to make a moose.
I love your patterns.I have recently had a hip replacement and sewing has kept me ‘sane”.Thank you x
I had a hard time choosing. They are all adorable. My final decision is the BUTTERFLY.
I need to make a bunch of Keepsake bears for friends.
It’s hard to choose but I would love to make a valentines Raff 🦒
Now I’ve finished work, I have some time to make some (OK, lots) of Funky Friends! Now, where to start????
Mate for sure my daughter loves the unicorn whale
Funky Friends is what we need to get through these rough days!
I’m still trying to choose which pattern to start with for my grand-daughter. I do love the fox!!
Mi piacerebbe cucire la capra oppure l’alce sono molto belli
I absolutely love your patterns. I only discovered them recently, so I would love a chance to expand my small collection
Have honey bear pattern printed and ready to go. Would love to win elephant pattern if I’m lucky. Such a good source of gorgeous patterns. ❤️
So nice of you!
I’m torn between the hedgehog and the triceratops 🙂
It’s not easy to choose because I love all your patterns, but I voted this time for your squirrel pattern. 🙂
I would love the love monster. It looks so cuddly!
I’ve got the lion to sew up from my grandsons baby clothes. He thinks his middle names lion 🦁 😂 because we all call him Leo lion . Seen a couple of puppy dogs up . Amazing patterns with great instructions 😍
I’m really new to your page and am currently making the platypus with your daily updates and guidance. I’m hooked and would love to try more. That beautiful hedgehog is definitely calling my name
So many lovely patterns hard to choose ive done the free Teddy pattern instructions so clear enjoyed sewing it x
I have been giving young children who end up in E.R at hospitals these lovely toys now for about 1 year and since I have found your great designs it so much of interest for me to sew much more thank you Pauline.
Ooooh I would like to sew a little red fox for Valentine’s 💘🦊❤️

Think it would have to be T-Rex made with love❤️
I would like to sew a Jake the puppy. He is so cute
I love FFF toys all! I am sewing by hand until now just my old pattern from a course in Hungary. I think after finish ing Pauline’s free course it would be the time to begin with these sweeties. My candidates are Keepshake bear and the Fox.
I have Melody and Calico bear and now I’d like the Hedgehog pattern, she’d make a great doorstop 🙂
Great patterns thank you I hope I win competition 😂
I love all your patterns. Think I’d have the calico bear. 💜
I love all of your patterns, but a dinosaur would be really cute to make!
I would love to win the Racoon pattern as my boyfriend said the other day how cute it was. I’d sew him his own for valentines
I would love to win any pattern of yours, i love them all so i would be hard pressed to choose one, but i will….
I love all the patterns but I think I would love to try the lion or fox for valentines ❤️
I would really LOVE to make up a Harper hobby horse each for my daughters, who I know would enjoy them to play and escape into their own fairytale 🙂
A valentines butterfly sounds good to me. Love this. Thank you for all you do.
Your patterns are all adorable. I would love the lamb pattern if I were to win😀❤️
I think I would love the elephant pattern—very, very cute.
If I were lucky enough to win, I’d love Ellie the elephant.
I love cats, therefore I would like the cat pattern
Shared the cute photo of different coloured love monsters here https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10157986470968105&id=605983104
It would definitely be a dinosaur for me!
Easter bunny buddies would be a fantastic FF pattern, my grandson would love it.
Easter bunny bunnies is a fantastic pattern I’d love to make
New to Funky Friends (and sewing toys) but love the straightforward instructions and helpful tips. I’d like to sew the puppy next.
Great inspiration for valentine makes. Only thing I need now is 72hr days 😂. So many cute things to make, so little time.
Puppy Pete is so cute – I think that will definately be next FFF pattern, having already made the honey bear, calico bear, patch the cat and recently the platypus. Instructions are so great and clear, that it makes the whole experience fun.
Love all your patterns. The moose is absolutely amazing.
I love all of your patterns but I would love to try the moose or the lion. I am totally loving doing the Melody bear
Those are so cute! I love seeing other people’s funky friends! Thank you for being so generous!
Awesome patterns. Especially love the memory bears and the moose
I’ve only made the seahorse so far and loved it! I would absolutely love to make Patch the Pussy cat.
There are so many gorgeous patterns to choose from but if I was lucky enough to win I would choose Ellie Elephant as she is already on my to do list.
Your patterns all look so great. It’s hard to decide which one to choose. At this moment I love your monster pattern!
I 💕 all the valentine toys above! I 💕 your Heather 🦔 pattern! 🦔💕
Your patterns are so clever. They show the research you must do before you begin to draw up a pattern. It’s the small things I have noticed in particular like the curve of the giraffe’s hind legs & the great faces of various animals. There is just so much detail in each pattern. You certainly are a perfectionist & it shows. Following any of your written instructions are so helpful & I often find them better than a tutorial. Thank you Pauline so much for all you do & I look forward to making Funky Friends Factory toys for all to see & enjoy!
Hi, I’ve not plunged I yet, though I have to say I’ve had my eye on the Lion and would love to see it done up in a Valentine outfit.
I would like to try Melody bear. Just half way through making my very first Calico bear to see if I could do it. Not perfect but getting there 🐻. Thank you so much for the opportunity to try making it!
As I live in CapeTown any of the African animals would be a winner but elephants are one of my absolute best animals ….so Ellie 🐘
I would love to make Heather Hedgehog, I think she is so cute x
The unicorn for sure!
I’d like to try the Love Monsters- they look so cute, and quick to make. I may leave off the horns, though, or make them into ears. 🙂. Thanks!
I already purchased the pattern for Ellie, and I do like the looks of your funky lizards, but how can a girl pass up a chance to meet (make) a real Frog Prince?!?! He is the next one I want to try to make!
What’s not to love about Funky Friends they are all so cute
I love them all
I’m thinking of making Heather Hedgehog for my husband since I’m a Heather!
I absolutely love all of your patterns and feel that any of them would be adorable in valentines fabrics. If I were to win, I’d like to do lucky the Labrador.
I have loved using your Calico Bear pattern, it has really helped me. I would love to have a go at the Ellie the Elephant or Keep me Keepsake bear patterns. I’m really enjoying seeing the end results and everyone I make is different
I have always loved Puppy Pete. He’s such a cutie!
I’m working on a valentines wombat but I’ve been eying the peacock and hedgehog patterns and they would be really fun in red/white my daughters favorite colors so would be loved year round
I have several patterns. Love them. Grandkids love platypus. ❤️
I would love Ellie Elephant. I would make two with trunks entwined for my daughter and her fiancee who should have married on the 15th Feb 2020 but it is now next year.
I love the digger pattern. It is hard to pick one . They are all so cute.
I love , love all the patterns I’ve got!! I’ve done a Melody bear in buffalo plaid and Jean material. So cute! Right now I actually have 5 new friends waiting to be sewn together. I’m excited to get daisy done for my granddaughter. Thanks for the awesome patterns!
OMG, such a cute collection of patterns. So creative!! I’ve got my eye on the moose to make.
Love this web site it has kept me going during lockdown
I made a vow to work my way through my Funky Friends pattern collection this year and sew them all . I absolutely love each and every one. They are so adorable on paper, but once I stitch them up they come to life, each one with its own personality . I love all of the examples in this blog post. I love using various fabrics just to see what the results will be. I am loving the plaids and gingham right now. I think I might do a Valentine’s unicorn this week from my pattern collection. If I were to choose a pattern I don’t have it would be either the triceratops or hobby horse. I am really happy that you started the Facebook group, seeing everyone’s adorable pictures makes my day.
I shared the moose to pinterest and the adorable peacocks to my Facebook page. Thanks again for all you do. Your patterns have brought alot of joy to me in making them and to all of the people who have received them. You have touched the lives of many many people
I love all the patterns. So far I have 15 off them. I have sewn the calico bear, honey bear and the Easter rabbit. I keep buying patterns as they are all so cute I would love to see a red panda or a Quokka pattern. If I were to win I would buy the sloth.
Only sewn one pattern so far but have caught the bug! Would love to work my way up to the Dragon which is the one I really want to sew.
Your patterns are too cute!! I have a hard time deciding which I want to sew first. Seeing the valentine Digger the Dachshund took me back to my childhood. We actually had a Dachshund we named Digger!
I love the valentine elephant…… and the bumble bee. Such fun patterns!
I would love the cat pattern for my Great drand daughter who because of Covid i cant see her and they live in texas and i am in Pa
Oh I love all of these gorgeous makes…it’s amazing how different each one looks…of course…hearts make everything beautiful c
It would have to be the kookaburra,I saw and heard one on my holiday to australia,they are fantastic,also couldn’t resist buying more patterns while out there a wonderful country
All of your patterns are amazing! I am having a hard time deciding between Kitty Cat Kate and the Heather the Hedgehog.
The Moose would look great for Valentine’s! I love them all!
I would love to make a sweet Patti the Cow for Valentine’s! Just purchased a bunch of patterns and she was next on my list. She would look so darling with hearts & plenty of pink and red!
I’ve been wanting to try your new gorilla pattern. He’s “tots adores”! Just waiting for the right person to sew for. I just recently finished one of the twin bunnies for a baby shower gift.
Your Moose pattern is my absolute favorite! I collect Moose, so this pattern would definitely be my choice!
I reposted the moos3 by StaceyParsons to my Facebook page.
OMG i would love to do a hedgehog …or a dog or a cat, your examples look totally awesome with hearts.
I would really LOVE to sew puppy pete!!! So adorable 🥰
Ellie ELEPHANT pattern I would love to sew this for my 33yr old daughter as her favourite cuddly toy as a baby was a satin type feel fabric elephant , ELLIE as she called it.
I love all of your patterns, I would love to make either the llama, lion or elephant !!!!
All your patterns are great i would love to sew the moose i think he would be fab
I would love to make the moose pattern. I don’t think I have seen a pattern to make one of these before. As I am Canadian it would be nice to make this for my grandchildren. They love stuffed animals

Thank you so much for your amazing patterns 🙂 Karen xxx
I’d love to sew a monkey in a cute Valentines print! I have a niece who loves the toys I’ve made from your patterns and she doesn’t have a monkey yet.
Ack!!! How do you pick!! I really thought I loved the turtle most. But then I see the elephant. And the tiny koala!! And the T-Rex?!? I need more kids in my life to give them to!!
I love your patterns. They are so stinking cute!! I would love to win goat. That is the cutest and I don’t have that one. Thanks so much
I have been thinking my 3 yr old twin Great Grandkids need monsters, I would love to win the monster pattern.
I love how you use sweet fabric on the little monsters. Such a cute combination!
I’d really love to sew up any of these adorable cuties! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!!!
I love all these valentines FFF animals. The kitty Kate was my favorite 😻
Difficile de choisir car plusieurs modèles sont adorables et feraient craquer. Mais j’ai une préférence pour Élie l’éléphant car mon chéri adore les éléphants et il ne s’attendrait vraiment pas à en recevoir un. Par contre je lui coudrais une petite poche devant afin de lui laisser un petit mot doux 😉😍😍😍
I’d love to sew diggles the dragon he looks great
The butterfly is so adorable. I would sew that one or the bear with a heart nose.
I love all of your patterns, they are well created. I have about 40+ patterns so I probably would get Randy Rhino.
I really want to make Monty Manatee, maybe enlarged to pillow size. We have two new grandchildren born during the pandemic that we have not yet been able to meet. The little girl is getting Ellie Elephant in pink and gray cuddle fleece. The little boy has a marine life themed nursery and Monty would be perfect!
So many great patterns… but as I am a crazy about cats lady..would love the kitty pattern. Stay safe and Happy❤️Day to you
J’adorerais faire le papillon pour ma petite fille car je n’ai pas d’amoureux… j’ai eu beaucoup de mal à choisir, je découvre ce site où tous les modèles sont magnifique, bravo.

The T Rex is so cute.
I love all your patterns, I’ve got so many I’m not sure what I’d choose, something I don’t have, I’d love to win and see what pattern I could try next!!!
I would sew Calico Bear or Moose. They are both so cute!
sorry I made some typos :

My Daughter and I just did the Platypus pattern from Your e- ail series. It had really helpful Instructions and I enjoyed teaching her. I would love the Moose Pattern the nickname my Mom gave my Brother
I’d like to sew the Puppy Pete. For valentine’s, for babies, for toddlers,

I love so many of the Funky Friends patterns, it’s so hard to choose. I’d like to make the Memory Bear next, perfect for any occasion!
I still have the lady bug in my wish list! I think it would be adorable love bug! 🐞 But the butterfly is lovely!!
Thanks for being such an inspiration to us all Pauline! I would definitely choose the hedgehog because it is just adorable:)
All the patterns are so cute. Love stuffed toys so much. The Koala and the Moose look really fun, like their faces
I’d love to win one of your precious patterns! They are the best!!!
So happy to have found your patterns! I haven’t made many yet but they are all adorable and you give great tips and help making them! The dragon pattern would be the one my grandkids would love best!
I would like to make the Daisy Dress Up Doll for Valentine’s day. I know some little girls who would LOVE them.
I love your patterns. I would live to make the Slowpoke Sloth for my daughter. She is a 12 hour car ride away from us and she loves sloths. I would love to surprise her with one made by hand and love. Thank you.
I’d love to win a dog pattern to make for my little girl 🥰

And one with a link to the butterfly https://www.facebook.com/100000046992308/posts/4037264449618415/?d=n
Because I love butterflies (already have that pattern.
I reposted to both my Facebook and Pinterest. 🥰
I just finished my first one and it was Patches the cat. So I’m thinking either the calico bear or Heather the hippo would be cute for valentines.
They are all adorable but the moose won out as my favorite to sew in Valentine colors. I would love to make them all!
I just found your patterns. They are adorable! I would like to try the hedgehog as my first! Thank you!
I love the love monster. I haven’t given my grands a monster yet.
Funky Friends patterns are so much fun to make, thank you!
The dragon is next on my wish list then the sea horse.
So hard to choose!! My kids are like me and into non-traditional type animals so it’s a toss up between the octopus or the otter.
There are several patterns I am wanting to make. The gorilla, kangaroo, the bulldog, just to name a few. They are all so cute and would make great Valentine gifts. Thanks so much for this group and blog. I get so many great ideas.
I would love to win a lamb for your Valentin promotion! Happy Valentine to you Pauline and group!
I shared the moose picture to my Face Book page
I would love to make the Giddy Goats for my son and daughter-in-law. They raise pygmy goats that are about the same size as the Giddy Goats when they are born.
Hi Pauline,
Thanks for the opportunity to win one of your patterns.
I think, if I was lucky enough to win I would like the Lucky the Labrador pattern. My dogs have been the luckiest dogs I’ve owned, because they get to help my 2 boys and myself as companion dogs. If it wasn’t for them I don’t think our life would be as rewarding as it is, so what a better way than to immortalise them with your pattern.
I’ve been searching for a bear pattern I liked for years, thankfully I found your signature bear, totally amazing have made this so many times I feel I can make it with my eyes closed. Thank you, your patterns are wonderful 😍
I would love to sew up an elephant for my sister in law who is expecting.
I love to digger dog reminds me of our dog of 14 years that passed away. We sure do miss him.
They are all so adorable! Especially the little love monsters! They are just huggable!!! ❤
Such a hard decision! I think the bunny, or dachshund….or the lion….but the fox is adorable…..🤷🏻♀️
These are all so cute! My wishlist keeps getting bigger!! I think my next purchase will be Melody bear
I really enjoyed the beginner lesson for the platypus. It’s such a weird animal, my granddaughter doesn’t recognize it. I’d like to win the elephant for Valentine’s since it’s her favorite animal.
I know any of them would be appreciated! My granddaughter is addicted to all! I love how changing up the fabrics sends a whole new hug of wishes! I am torn between the elephant and the moose! Thank you for sharing.
I love your patterns, All of them are adorable. I think the bunny would be cute to sew up for Valentines day.
I just found out about FFF a few weeks ago and I’m excited to start making some of these new friends because they are all so cute. I have to get some minky first but I also need a pattern. I would absolutely love to win one. So hard to choose but I like the Lion or Ellie the Elephant!!!
Just purchased a memory bear pattern, can’t wait to get started!
Ellie Elephant would be my first choice. I am in love with Licorice the Lemur! Decisions! Decisions!
I would love to make the Butterfly for a great, great, great niece coming in June. Babies love bright colors and this would be perfect.
There’s so many choices, but I think I’d have to go with Digger Dachshund.
Love all the FFF patterns. In process of making a memory bear! Hard choice to pick the next friend to make.
I would like to make a valentine Diggles the Dragon. Imagine all the hearts and love he could deliver on his Cupid wings.
I would love to win the adorable Fifi Fox pattern. but all of your patterns are so cute, it is hard to decide.
Honestly, all the patterns are so adorable, its hard to decide which to make first! My nephew is really into dinosaurs, but my niece loves elephants…or do I make the peacock for one of my adult friends? I’d probably go with the dinosaur, especially since I made him a bookbag of dino material already, and the toy would look sweet peeking out of the bag’s pocket.
Ellie the Elephant – I would love to sew this for a birth announcement. There is something about Elephants that is so sweet.
I’d love to make the dachshund. My Valentine’s gift last year was the most adorable dachshund puppy so I’d love to make him in toy form.
I just love the hedgehog, moose, and t-rex pattern!!! 😻 they are all so cute!
I love them all, but probably would choose Foxy since I have wanted her for a while.
I posted Ellie the elephant from this blog post on my Pinterest Zoeyclaws
Hi Pauline
I think I would like our girls to see up a moose!!
So cute and we have friends up north that would love it as a gift!

owould like the moose pattern
Slowpoke the Sloth. My 32 year old daughter is obsessed and collects stuffed animals. She would love it!
