I'm thinking putting a shout-out for kitkats on the village Facebook page is a bit off ? I was given a bar of dairy milk today though 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The designer whose book I have the pattern from names all her creatures. So far I have made Emma the bunny and Hank the sheep. I chose this one because the friend it is for is also called Natalie. She is moving in with her partner and there happens to be an animal with his name too so I’m going to make him too and give them as a pair. The designer writes a little character profile for each of her animals too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two I’m working on at the moment are from ‘Edward’s Menagerie The new collection’. If you order from her website: www.toftuk.com you often get bonus digital mini patterns. She has a dogs book too... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 How do you get on with the assembly of the bits? I was looking at the reviews for them and a few people complain that whilst the instructions are good for the making, the assembly instructions aren’t good.

Cait Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Looking at the start of this thread, I began it when I had 9000 posts. I see that I have fewer than that now, so was there a recount? 🤔 Edited July 30, 2020 by Cait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at the reviews for them and a few people complain that whilst the instructions are good for the making, the assembly instructions aren’t good. I went and read some of the reviews and I can see what they mean but so far I’ve found them mostly ok. She has done some great videos both for specific techniques and for stuffing/stitching up which I found really helpful. It can be hard to figure out the positioning of eyes, ears and noses, you need to rely on the pictures to help and they’re not always taken at the angle you need! Having said that I think that individual ‘quirks’ are what give them personality. Some reviewers said that there was no direction on angle or direction of head positioning but I just put them on facing forwards! Maybe I’m a bit too hasty?! I have also emailed before to ask a question and got a prompt and helpful reply. Edited July 30, 2020 by Froglet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
