Kip the Keepsake Dog | Paper Pattern

Meet Kip the Keepsake Dog! This adorable floppy-eared pup is the perfect sewing pattern for turning treasured clothes and fabrics into a truly special memory dog.

The Kip the Keepsake Dog sewing pattern by Funky Friends Factory is an unjointed sitting toy, designed specifically with keepsakes in mind. His large, no-seam tummy panel is perfect for featuring a favourite logo, motif or design from a much-loved piece of clothing — making him ideal for creating a personalised memory toy from baby clothes, school uniforms, favourite garments or other treasured fabrics.

Kip is also a brilliant project if you love embroidery. The pattern includes marked embroidery areas on his tummy, ears, arms, foot pads and legs, giving you lots of opportunities to add names, dates, messages or other personal details.

Finished Kip measures approximately 31cm / 12 inches from the table to the top of his head and has fixed legs so he sits neatly on his own.
