LISA PAY - KITS AND PATTERNS

Lisa Pay is a very successful Australian artist and her patterns and kits are hugely popular. It was only at the beginning of this year (2004) when I decided I wanted to try and make something totally different and 'found' Lisa's dog patterns on the internet. I was delighted when I found that Emmary Bears were going to stock some, including the two I really wanted to try - Scribble just looked irresistible and for a first effort, I think he turned out quite well and my biggest problem was in trying to find a reasonably priced dog collar!

I have more Lisa Pay patterns both for dogs, cats and bears, when I have tackled another pattern [(whether I use specially matched fabric or the fabric I have), I will put photos here for you to see.

SCRIBBLE I got this as a kit from Emmary Bears. Initially the pattern looked quite complicated but actually it was not as difficult as I thought. The trick was not to be overwealmed when you look at the pattern and instructions. Since this photo was taken I have removed and replaced the ears higher on his head, see picture below, it does make him look better.
SUGAR I got the pattern for Sugar from Emmary Bears but decided to use supplies from my own stocks. I spotted very little difference between this and the Scribble pattern, but using different fabric , the finished dog definitely looked different from the pattern photo..
You can see the newly positioned ears on Scribble in this joint photo with Sugar
This is the basic 'Sugar' pattern which I 'tweeked' because I wanted to see what a standing version would look like. This dog was made from synthetic fabric. I hope to make one from mohair as I am sure it will look even better.
