Kip The Keepsake Dog Pattern By Funky Friends Factory

Finished size: 30 cm (12 in) tall and 38 cm (15 in) long.

This adorable keepsake dog is specially designed for turning treasured clothing into a personalised memory toy. The large flat tummy, ears, and foot-pad pieces are perfect for adding embroidery such as names, dates or meaningful messages. With its floppy ears, rounded snout and classic doggy shape, this pattern is ideal for milestone gifts, memorial makes, and baby-clothes keepsakes.

Recommended fabrics: Most fabrics will work well. If you are using thin or stretchy clothing fabrics, stabilise with medium-weight fusible interfacing. Mix and match prints or garments for a patchwork keepsake look.
