Thank you to Sasha from Fabric Fusion for including me in her OPEN DAY celebrations! I had LOTS of fun teaching the Pattie Platypus toy making class in her nice sunshine-filled shop! 🙂

The fabrics we used were absolutely AWESOME!

Toy making sewing class Brisbane Surface Art & Veritas are two Australian Designers that Sasha is now stocking in her Fabric Fusion store.

LOOK how cute the platypus turned out made up in the Veritas design called Warratah Blossoms.

Besides the Platypusses/Platypii(???) that we made in the class…

I also made up some Funky Friends samples in the other fabrics and I just LOVE the big bold prints!  This is Randy Rhino made up in Surface Art – Japanese Floral Green-Charcoal. LOOKS like he’s hiding in a leafy jungle!

I loved seeing how the Funky Friends turned out in these fabrics as they are so different to what I would usually pick for my toys… and I have to admit I was blown away with them!

I think my favourite has to be Randy Rhino! 🙂

I wonder which fabric is your favourite?

    I really like them all, but as I have to choose one I have to say: Veritas: Warratah Blossoms.
    I love the Warratah, a beautiful Australian native, 🙂
