🧶 Safety Advice for Handmade Items

General Disclaimer

The publishers are not responsible for any safety issues arising from items created from our patterns. Handmade items are not tested to toy or product safety standards and may not be as robust as commercially made products.

Child Safety

Making Safely

Always ensure all pieces and parts are sewn on securely.

Use only safety toy stuffing.

Omit buttons, beads or embellishments on toys intended for children — embroider details instead.

Tool Safety

• Knitting needles, crochet hooks, sewing needles, pins and scissors are sharp.
• Adhesives and other haberdashery items should be used with care.
• Adult supervision is required when children are present around these tools.

Materials & Care

• Handmade items may not meet durability standards of shop-bought products. Check regularly for wear, loose parts or fraying yarn.
• Yarn, stuffing and fabrics may be flammable — keep items away from open flames and heaters.
• Some fibres may cause allergies — check materials before use.
• Wash items carefully. We recommend handwashing in cool water unless yarn or fabric is labelled otherwise.
