Scrapbooking Giveaway Day
This weekend, one commenter will win a cute Panda Plushie Pattern from Dolls and Daydreams.
Sarah Hanson is a UK girl living in the US. She designs patterns for plushies that are just gorgeous, and her store is bursting with cute doll and critter patterns that are sure to delight!
The more I read about Sarah, the more I like her and her work.
“I specialize in Fun & Easy Step by Step Photo Tutorial Patterns so that even a beginner sewer will be able to make dolls and softies just like mine!
When I was a little girl my Nanna taught me to sew & my first project was a little rag doll – I was in love! But when I brought a store doll pattern I was shocked at how hard it was to understand and so unhappy with my finished friend. So I kept creating my own doll & softie designs for my friends & family.
My life took an interesting turn after I organized a charity doll drive for the children of Haiti. I designed and offered an easy free doll pattern and the response was amazing. We collected over 500 dolls for the children and have since continued to collect, make & send out 1000’s to children in need all over the world. Through this wonderful work I received so many kind comments and requests for more designs and patterns and thus Dolls And Daydreams was born.”
You can become a fan of her facebook page here.

Eeek Hope this is the right place to comment I’d love to win Sarah’s pattern she makes such amazing patterns! My favorite toy is a doll that my grandma traded an afghan for when I was a baby. This doll is so amazing and over 30 years old now and still looks great and has an amazing yellow vintage(now) dress and huge hand embroidered eyes. I’m thrilled that we actually found a very similar doll at a craft show two years ago so now my little girl has her very own dolly like mom’s. I love using Sarah’s patterns and my little girl also has a little cute school girl that she helped pick out fabrics for. PS hope this is open to the US too ;)

I think I managed to knit some scarves for her but that was about it then!
28 July 2012, 03:00
My Mum made me a new soft toy every Christmas it was left on the top of my stocking for me to open when I woke at 4am and go back to sleep cuddling so I have a whole host of special toys.

My most treasured toy is a blue teddy bear that I have since I was born, it was given to me by my godfather and it has been everywhere with me (followed me in every single travels), been squished by my hugs, and soaked with my tears ! He as been so far my most faithful friend, and kept all my secrets !

My Pop gave me a Lion called Leo. He was my best friend from the moment we laid eyes on each other. He was orange and yellow and had the kindest eyes. He had a pull string and used to talk to me. He always shared my secrets and told me “ Your braver than a lion”. <3
29 July 2012, 11:55
My most precious toy is a large doll with vintage cord dress & pinny completely hand made by my god mothers mum. I can’t remember exactly when I was given her but I remember her from very very young. A few years ago her ‘maid style’ hat went missing and I was gutted!… Still am!

29 July 2012, 12:02

My most treasured toy is a bear my aunt gave me when I was six weeks old and in the hospital. The doctors thought I might die but God did a miracle and I completely recovered.

I was sad when it fell apart and my mum told me it was going to get better and the dolls hospital. It was a very sad little girl until my treasured bear was back in my arms all fixed. I still wonder whatever happened to him 40 years later. Would love to still have him.

30 July 2012, 11:26
I just love Sarah’s patterns, and made them for my babies. I have made dolls for 45 years and I love them all like children, Even throw I don’t know where they all are now. I just found out on my 60th birthday, that my nice (now 45) secretly dreamed of having one of my two headed dolls when she was little. It made me sad knowing I didn’t make her one. I make them and give them away. Dolls do make children happy and feel loved, boy or girl. I loved all my dolls.
30 July 2012, 12:42
What a cute panda! My treasured toys was a large panda teddy bear. I still have him today looking a little worse for wear. Also a holly hobbie sewing machine, that sadly was lost during a house move, I wish I still had it to hand over to my girls.

Love that beautiful Panda. I also love the idea of making a doll for a child in Haiti. I am going to look into this. My favorite toy is a bear which belonged to my beloved godmother, who passed away a couple of years ago. I hug it everyday and think of her.
30 July 2012, 21:05
Hi
I absolutely love Sarah’s site. Fun!!!!
My favorite doll was a very stiff, tall walking doll – my aunt bought me when I was at a supermarket. We had a man get it from the very
tippity top shelf. I thought that was so very
special. This had to be about 56 years ago!!
Wow!! I love that Panda!

My rag doll Patty!! She is still my best friend!!!
30 July 2012, 21:57
My favourite toy was my bear Bertha. I loved her! My mum made her for me when I was just one, and the story goes that she hadn’t yet stitched on the eyes or embroidered the face, and gave her to me to cuddle, and I wouldn’t give her back! So Bertha had no eyes or facial features other than her nose. When I was older, I thought about adding some, but I realised that then, she just wouldn’t be Bertha!

30 July 2012, 23:16
I don’t remember a treasured toy as a child but my daughter had a teddy bear named Teddy, go figure. When she was about 5 the summer before she went to kindergarden, she lost Teddy at the airport in Nashville, TN. When she graduated from college, she became a flight attendant. I told her she only did that so she could look for Teddy in airports across the USA and around the world.

I had a battered little teddy that went everywhere with me. He was mended multiple times by both my Grandmother and Nanna (including a head reattachment after too many tight cuddles) so is still a treasured little teddy now that I am in my 30s!

My favourite toy(s) as ayoungster was my ‘Boy Bubby and Girl Bubby’, two dolls handmade by my mum, from Terry-toweling fabric, with felt eyes and wool hair. Of course, the girl was pink and the boy, blue of course!! :-)

I love Sarah’s patterns, I am addicted.
My favourite childhood toy would have to be my strawberry shortcake…I no longer have her because I thought she could do everything with me, even swim, and well her strawberry scent went mouldy and we had to throw her out.
Still makes me sad now and I am 36. lol so sad.

I’m 35 years old and still have a little pink elephant that my grandmother bought before my father even met my mother, with the thought that she would give it to her first grand-daughter. In the end, I was her only grand-daughter :)

My most treasured toy is undoubtedly my teddy bear which is made from my mother when i was a little girl. <3 I have that teddy bear since i was 5. So it means a lot to me. :) I’m fixing him every time if he needs some sewing. He became old but he is precious for me forever. And i’ll take care of him all of my life, because he did the same thing for me in my childhood.^^ If i’m so far away from my home without him, i feel still lonely in my bed like a little girl and can’t sleep… ^^ Love my teddy! <3 Have a nice day!

My most treasured childhood toy are the two crocheted animals (a pink elephant and a crazy blue owl) made by my grandmothers (one from each).
I also adore the camoflauge brotosaurus my sister made me in high school hom ec (she was shocked I still have it).

My most cherished toy from childhood was my black rubber baby doll. She was so cute and soft. I have been looking for one on ebay for years, but so far have not had any luck. Mine was chewed up by my friend’s dog about 10 yrs ago.

My favorite childhood toy was my carebears. I could never have too many and each one of them meant something special to me. I wish my girls appreciated toys like I did when I was there age. Times have sure changed.

This is a hard one…I gues my favourite toy would have to have been Barbie. I must have about 200 of them and I loved making them clothes, costumes. Giving life to my imagination through this doll was wonderful. I am a little jealouse of the great items Barbie has now but am proud to say I was making my dolls into fairies and mermaids before you could store buy them. :)

My favorite stuffed toy was a raccoon and her baby. The baby had Velcro on her tummy and the momma had it on her back so the baby could take a ride! Loved it.

I had a giant orange and green rabbit whose name was Carrots. Looking back at pictures he was not the prettiest cuddly toy but I absolutely adored him and he had to go everywhere with us. I even made him his own passport.
