Hello! Today I'm helping celebrate Fairfield World's 80th Birthday by sharing my new pattern that was made with my favorite fiber fill, Fairfield World's Poly-Fill! Sunshine Amigurumi is a quick and easy project that can be used for just about anything from baby mobiles to keychains! Scroll down for the free pattern!
“You Are My Sunshine” is still one of my favorite songs and I have a lot of memories to look back on with this song too. My mom would sing me that song when I was sad and when I grew up, I sang this sweet song to my son while rocking him to sleep when he was a baby.
