Testers wanted!
March 24, 2010
Well the Sausage dog worked! The wheels are attached, a few different attempts at how best to attach them but the toddler has pulled and the dog has followed. Yippee! Photos to come tomorrow.
.
I promised myself that I’d have the pattern ready for Stitches and Craft in Sydney and the pattern is well underway but I’d love a few people to test it for me. Interested? I’ll post out the wheels and dowel so you’ll just need the socks, stuffing, fabric. If you’d like to take part leave a comment or email me claire {!at!} craftschmaft {dot} com. It would need to be finished by the 6th of April and you need to be in Australia to receive the wheels. There’ll also be a variation without wheels so if you are overseas and would like to help test lemme know and I’ll send you that version.
Thanks!
Claire
Hello. My name is Claire. I have a sock toy addiction. It began two years ago when I was pregnant and nesting. At first I dismissed it. I hadn't sewn in years. "Craft Schmaft" I said. Well it seems this crafty thing is here to stay. This blog brings you the delights of making sock softies, fabric finds and crafty inspiration from round the interweb.

After making one of your owls I’d LOVE to try the sausage dog! He’s too cute! And I’d have no problem getting him done by 6 April.

Hello Claire, i’d love to give it a go. I come from a sewing but non softie background, if you want to test it on that demographic. Love your work & i’m always being asked for sausage dog fabric. Cute theme, love Posie

I’d love to test a static (non-wheeled!) version as I’m in the UK> I suspect though that you have enough volunteers for now! Good luck x

Have made a couple of sock mokeys in the past and love the idea of a sausage dog…would love to help you out if you still need more testers!

Excellent, that’s exciting! WOW, look at the responses, I am probably too late as I guess you have enough volunteers : ) But if you need one more, I will be honoured to test this out for you, wheels or no wheels.

Although I’d love to be one of your sausage dog testers, sadly I’m a bit like you at the moment and filled to capacity with tasks that need to be done to meet deadlines.
However, I wanted to let you know that I have nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger Award. Check out my blog for info on what you need to do!

Claire I’d love to be included,
I love your owl pattern (actually need to send you some photos as I’ve made a couple of mobiles so far with another one in the works! Also I’m on school holidays as of 3pm tomorrow so I’ll have plenty of time!
I’m in Melbourne.
