Funky Friends Kip the Keepsake Dog Sewing Pattern

Finished Size: 31cm (12 inches) from sitting to top of head!

Funky Friends Kip the Keepsake Dog is playful pup with floppy ears and an adorable puppy-dog tail – a perfect pattern for sewing a child’s best friend. He is an unjointed, ‘sitting toy’d that has been designed for memory toys, decor or playtime. If you are making a keepsake toy you can use the large, “no-seam” tummy panel to feature a t-shirt logo or baby clothes design.

The 5-inch square tummy space is marked on the pattern piece for easy centering. You can use the spaces on his ears, arms, foot pads and legs (all with grids) for dates & initials. His felt nose and optional eye patch can be sewn on by machine or hand. The collar and cute bone-shaped name tag piece are included in the pattern!

The full size paper pattern comes with an instruction booklet. In addition to this, Funky Friends also have tutorial videos to help guide you through your toy making journey.
