FUNKY FRIENDS Toy Making WORKSHOP
FUNKY FRIENDS Toy Making WORKSHOP
Come sew the cutest thing you'll make all month.
Each month at Artistic Quilts with Colors, we offer a choice of two Funky Friends toys to sew — the Toy of the Month, plus a second option that's usually a brand new pattern fresh into the shop. Pick the one that speaks to you and spend the day bringing it to life.
What we learn:
- How to read the Funky Friends pattern
- How to cut fabric accurately and fussy cut special motifs
- Stitching basics for toy making and proper seam allowance
- Hand-sewing small parts
- Attaching limbs, ears, safety eyes, and other parts
- How to add crinkle
- How to stuff the toy so it keeps its shape
For the homework you will need following:
- Appropriate for the Month Funky Factory Friend kit or supplies as needed for the pattern

- CAMELOT FABRICS - CloudFill FUSIBLE Fleece - 45" - 1 yard piece
