HomekeepingGran Posted December 5, 2011 I am so excited for all three of you! (I think) I know what Mom put in — some socks. May I ask what you other two talented gals did? I just have to say I am so proud to know you designers, even if it is mainly virtually! Hugs to you all! And a huge congratulations! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yarn or Fabric Posted December 11, 2011 I am a stuffed doll designer for the most part. I had also wanted to design up a few accessories but time was not on my side. I got what I could get done before the first deadline and was really upset when I had seen they extended it lol. I would have done more I think had I known it was extended. By the time I found out, it was too late to design anything else. They accepted designs for a robot, bunny, dog, cat and a crocodile. The monkey I designed was really cute and has been pretty popular on my website since I released her. Designs rarely go to waste here... I am almost 100% sure it was because I used Super Saver on that design. The rest were higher end yarns plus a few from yarn stores. It's hard to find higher end yarns that aren't wool anymore... If I were designing accessories I would use maybe silk or something but for stuffed animals? Acrylic and cotton are all that I can choose from. May I ask what you other two talented gals did? I just have to say I am so proud to know you designers, even if it is mainly virtually! Hugs to you all! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I am concerned, ami's, toys and dolls should be made of acrylic. They are most of the time made for kids. Being alergic to wool, I have to be careful and so do a lot of other people. Also, not everyone can afford the higher end yarn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laurinda3 Posted December 15, 2011 I love your designs. As far as I am concerned, ami's, toys and dolls should be made of acrylic. They are most of the time made for kids. Being alergic to wool, I have to be careful and so do a lot of other people. Also, not everyone can afford the higher end yarn. I do most of my toys with cotton, I like that it's washable and still a natural fiber. But then I don't do many dolls and such. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
