Honey Teddy’s Fabulous Fabric Tour – Picklemouse Corner fabric Giveaway!

May 1, 2014 | A day in my life, Blog, Competitions & Giveaways

Honey Teddy’s been shopping again!

Who can blame the poor teddy? Wouldn’t you get sick and tired of being made out of plain brown fleece? 

This time the Fabric Tour headed for LEURA in New South Wales where Honey fell in love with a bright pink and purple Aboriginal print fabric she spotted at Picklemouse Corner.

AND here she is!

The fabric goes so well with all my pink and purple felt ~> I’m having a hard time deciding which to use for her cute little nose! 🙂

And now for some GREAT NEWS

You can win some of this cute fabric to make a Funky Friend yourself! This week we’re doing a fabric giveaway for the Facebook Friday Frenzy! How cool is that?

BUT first let me introduce you to the lovely lady behind Pickle Mouse corner, Pam Davis, who you can see almost hidden by fabric at the Stitches and Craft show earlier this year.

I first got to know Pam when she became a wholesale customer of my Funky Friends Factory sewing patterns a few Shows ago. When she saw my softies she thought they’d be a great match for the flannel fabrics she keeps in store.  I think so too! Look how cute is this version of Dilby Duck looks in flannel!

    I think diggles the dragons would be amazing in this fabric, the dots are like lots of tiny scales. With two tone wings in black and purple 🙂

    hi Pauline,

    i think the best pattern for this fabric will be `Randy Rhinro`.

    can’t wait to see the pattern on this softie.

    Fleur the Flamingo or Batty Bat (the wings in the print and a solid purple or pink for the body) would look cool in that fabric! Oh! But now I’m thinking the Dippy Dinosaurs!

    I thing they would all look fantastic in that fabric, but the one I would like to make most from that fabric is Wddger the wombat. That would be so cute to make for my granddaughter!
