    First we have this super cute memory toy sewn by Emma Woodley<\/strong>. I think a chameleon is such an unusual creature I didn’t imagine people would sew lovely keepsakes with this pattern but Emma has been using lots of Funky Friends Factory Pattern for her keepsake business – The Sewing Bumble Bees<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and she made Coco from her daughter’s baby items….”because she\u2019s animal-mad and when I told her I wanted to test the pattern for you, she wanted it, so that was that!”<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Chameleon<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Next up is this gorgeous rainbow Chameleon sewn by Tammy Gosselin<\/strong>. The patterns in the fabric make it looks like it’s made up of different textures!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Chameleon<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Look at this cute camouflage fabric Chameleon sewn by Marie B<\/strong>. I love the leafy-green and tourqoise-blue colour combination!<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Chameleon<\/p>\n

    \"Chameleon<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Look at\u00a0 this super slinky SILK fabric chameleon sewn by Candy Richmond<\/strong>. She used some bright silk fabrics she’d been given. How fun does Coco Chameleon look hiding in the banana leaves???\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Chameleon<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    I love this “scrappy” Chameleon sewn by Francine B<\/strong> who said she was excited about being able to “go scrappy and shop her stash”… and I can see some of my favourite Tula Pink fabrics in there!!! .<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Chameleon<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    AND I was really excited to have one of the Shannon Fabrics Brand Ambassadors sew up Coco in Cuddle<\/strong>! This super fluffy version of Coco was sewn by Michelle Hall<\/strong> of SewChromaDaily<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the textures of the different types of Cuddle, print, embossed. Michelle has a great tip for using Cuddle for the EYE PATCH and the TONGUE – she used Cuddle fabric backed with Pellon Shape-Flex SF101 Fusible White Interfacing.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Chameleon<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    And WOW!!!! Look at this amazing, vibrant Chameleon – sewn by Gabriele Girndt-Sharp<\/strong>!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
