The Kiwi Family Designed by Julie McGowan & Moana Bianchin The kiwi is New Zealand's national bird, and the nickname given to the green fruit, known here as kiwifruit. This pattern pack has full sized patterns for adults (25cm tall) and babies (18cm tall). There is a tall tale about Grandpa kiwi getting stuck in a gin trap, plus baby birth tags. The whiskers are made from waxed thread, and we use 9 or 7.5 mm amber safety eyes. The adult bird can be made with fur - our daughter's favourite.

The Sheep Family Designed by Julie McGowan & Moana Bianchin New Zealanders are still out numbered by sheep! Rambo Ram is my favourite in this family, with his body made in white teddy fur, and yellow striped horns. This pattern pack has full sized patterns for adults (25cm tall) and babies (18cm tall). There is a tall tale about Shazza Sheep's first shave, plus birth tags. The feet are painted on with black acrylic paint, and we use 9mm gold cats safety eyes. The packs have a free strip of white fur for you to use as a top knot.

Henrietta Hen Designed by Julie McGowan & Moana Bianchin Henrietta is simply gorgeous and her eggs are the perfect way to use up scraps of favourite fabric you just can't throw away. This pattern pack has full sized patterns for two sizes of hen - the bantam (7" tall) and the large hen (8.5"). There is a tall tale about the Henrietta's urge to go clucky and sit on her eggs, plus two free tags. Her beak is painted on with yellow acrylic paint, and we use 9mm amber safety eyes. Henrietta looks perfect with Rastus the Rooster see below.

Rastus Rooster Designed by Julie McGowan & Moana Bianchin Rastus Rooster has to be another of my favourites! I recommend stitching Henrietta the Hen first, as both dolls have the same basic construction, with Rastus' tail and legs more complicated. This pattern pack has full sized patterns for two sizes of rooster - the bantam (7" tall) and the large hen (8.5"). There is a tall tale about the Rastus and how his vein feather preening got him into trouble! His beak is also painted with acrylic paint. The chick is a super way to use scraps of teddy fur.

Clarabell Cow, Tex Longhorn the Bull & Clover the Calf Designed by Moana Bianchin Clarabell and her calf Clover are 7" tall, while Tex Longhorn and Bert the Bull have an extra inch at 8". Their heads are jointed to the body, with horns and curly topknot optional. These dolls are great to dress up with accessories such as Clarabell's apron, ear tags, bandana or a bull ring. Click on the pattern picture to see our gallery. I had lots of fun designing Clarabell's udder and Tex's wedding tackle - being married to a farmer you can bet I had an expert on tap!

Cat, Kitten and Mouse Designed by Moana Bianchin These cats can be made from cotton, flannel or fur fabrics. If you are using fur which is stretchy, I advise stabilising the back of the fabric with a low hear iron on stabiliser. This minimises the distortion of the shapes. Watch you don't melt the fur! The cat is 9" in diameter, the kitten is 5" wide and the mice stand 3" high. Click on the pattern picture to see our gallery.

Butterfly, dragonfly & ladybird pin dolls Designed by Moana Bianchin These pindolls are a super way to use those treasured scaps of fabric that hold special memories. Pin them to quilts, wall hangings or curtains to bring a 3-D touch. Super way of dressing up hats or (of course) as a broach. Pin Doll gallery coming soon!
