-Must know how to sew
-Must be able to make one octopus within two weeks of receiving the pattern (which would be Sunday or Monday via email)
To make one, you will need 1/2 yard of fleece, a fat quarter of fabric, a pair of 12 mm safety eyes (or you could cut felt circles), scraps of felt, embroidery thread, and misc. for any accessories.
Here are some pictures of other ones I have made in the past:

I would love to test your patterns. Email me and I'll tell you about my sewing experience.
Cute, cute, cute! I would love to test out the pattern! I'm a new sewer, but am already very experienced! I've already made the Amy Butler weekender bag, tons of other bage, and an uncoutable number of girls clothes. Pick me!! My project turn-around is about 2 days!
I would love to test! They are so cute! I have the materials on hand!
I would love to test patterns as well. I LOVE to sew, I've done mostly clothes for my daughter and friends and blankets for baby dolls, but I definitely want to try that octopus!!

Hello there! I would love to test this octopus pattern or any of the other ones you are working on.
Yay for you!! I wish I had time to help but I'm about ready to send my new one out to testers. But I just wanted to say congrats and I know it will do great!
Those are sooo darling! Too bad I can't sew- nor own a sewing machine- it has been on my list to learn for a while though. My kids would love an octopus! it is just sooo adorable :)
Those are ridiculously adorable! I already have the materials that I would need to make one. I'd love to get a chance to test out your pattern!

Your craft ideas and projects are so inspiring and amazing!!! I would love to test your pattern! I've been sewing since I was 8.
So cute as always!!
I would love to test this pattern out. My nephew's name is Henry & my 3 year old calls him Henry the Octopus (from the Wiggles). He turns 6 months tomorrow & his brother turns 2 next week- I would love to add it to their package as a gift from Auntie M!
I'm sad I read your blog late today... =( This pattern is darling and if I"m lucky I hope to test it out for you.
I don't sleep (hardly) and I do mu sewing in the middle of the night. I have sewn quilt front in one evening before... lol
ok to much info

Let me know when you have the pattern for sale, since you have an abundance of volunteers to test your pattern. I can't wait to try out the pattern.
Sincerely,
Tanya
hi jessica,
i would love to test your pattern
you could see my works on my blog
(www.hersheyler.com)and i have all of needed stuffs
Looks like you have lots of comments already but still going to try! Would love to test sew for you and your patterns. I'm a SAHM, I teach part time at my LYS and love to sew as well. Cute, cute pattern!!
These are adorabel. I would love to sew one for you. I have everything on hand to make it.
I'd LOVE to test it! I just found your blog a few days ago and have been enjoying all your posts (yes, archives too) and I found this octopus and was going to ask you if you had a tutorial somewhere. This would be perfect! Of course, no chance for me unless you randomly draw a number or something---I am like comment number 46 or something!
wow, it looks like you have lots of volunteers! I'd like to throw my name in the hat - it's such a cute pattern, and I'd love to make one fore you. Thanks for considering all of us!
Very adorable. I would love a chance to test the pattern for you. I bet you are blown away with the amount of testers you have. Good luck picking.

Just adorable. I would love to be a tester. You must be blown away with the amount of testers you have I don't envy you for having to pick.
Tami
sewingniche-tami.blogspot.com
that is the cutest octopus I've ever seen!!
I'd love to give it a try. I'm a "start to finish in one sitting sewer". I like to see results right away and love patterns that are simple and clear enough to enable me to do that.
ettafi@gmail.com
I would love such a fabulous opportunity to be a tester!! Such a cute octapus! Thanks!
craftaholic@rocketmail.com
Oh man! It look like you have a ton of sewers to choose from... but I would love to test your patterns as well.
We are on a very limited budget, so I love testing! I'm very quick, too. It would never take me two weeks to complete the project.
My email is listed on my blog.
The octopus is adorable, btw. So cute!
Super cute! I love coming up with random softies :) I have ll the supplies in my stash and would looooove to whip up a cute lil' octopus!
What a cutie! I would love to sew you one!
Is it a problem I'm all the way in the Netherlands?
I would love to try this. I would consider myself a beginner, lots of quilt experience. So at least you'll know if your pattern works for peeps like me!
Such a cutie-pie little pattern!
After a week of sewing:
50 bean bags, 6 juggling balls, 1 gored skirt, 1 pair recon-shoe/boots, re-lining a corset, and reverse applique-ing a name patch...
I think my wee little man would appreciate me making a stuftie for him and my sewing machine would appreciate a smallish project.
Best and Blessed!
If you want a tester that doesn't really know what she's doing (ie you want to see if it is simple enough for new people) then I'm your girl. I've only made an apron from a pattern before. But seeing as you already have a lot of responses, I'm gonna assume you are already good to go with testers! I'm excited to know how it all turns out!
I would love to test your patterns for you too! I love sewing and would love to make this adorable octopus.
serena.gerke@gmail.com
SO CUTE!!! I would love to try this pattern! I already have the supplies so I'm READY ;)
I would love to test your pattern! It is so cute!! I just found out we are having a little boy in February and he will need his own little toys (not his sisters)! Thanks!!!
eryn_adams@hotmail.com
I am pattern challenged. BIG TIME! But, I can sew (I just seem to figure it out without reading the pattern most of the time). So, if you want someone who's "pattern following" challenged to see if they can make this......than PICK ME! :)
laurascow@hotmail.com
p.s. these are SO so cute!
I would love to be a pattern tester. I have quite a bit of sewing experience, totes/purses, soft toys, quilts, little girls clothing, womens clothing - I can do it all! Quick turnaround time. Email me if you need more information. Thanks for the opportunity!

This would be perfect for me! I am an experienced sewer who loves making gifts. I have all the supplies in my stash and a bunch of friends with or having babies who would love to get this as a gift, I'm sure =0) I am looking for a new project and the timing is perfect for me to devote time to this. Looks like a nice afternoon project.
Jessica,
Those are soooooo adorable!!!!
I'd love to give the pattern a go as a tester. I am experienced in clothes, quilts, dolls, etc and have used DOZENS of patterns purchased from Etsy, and oodles of free ones. Before having children, I was a teacher, so I have attention to detail. = )

It's too late to get on board with this isn't it? If you are still looking I'd love to make up one of these sweeties, two actually. I was looking for a project THIS WEEEKEND, and my kids would fallin love with these.
Hi,
If you still need a tester I would love to test this pattern for you.
Thanks so much!
Nicki
oooooooo pick me pick me.
my girl would love this. :)
I'd love to test your patterns now or in the future. :)
I am relatively new to sewing but follow directions precisely and can start sewing right away - I have the materials already.
This is the cutest octopus I have ever seen! I would be happy to make one for my daughter. And I am sure after she sees it, she would want a whole octopus family! That would be fun to make :)

I would love to be a tester!
how cute! I would love to test your pattern!!!
I have been sewing for a couple of years now.
I would love to test your pattern!! I have never sewn any kind of softie before, just clothes and refashions.
Dawn
I would love to test the octopus pattern for you. My daughter's first birthday is coming up in one month and I just know she would love this softie!
andrealynn24@hotmail.com
I am super new to sewing so probably wouldn't be a good tester...but these are ADORABLE and my daughter would go crazy for it!
I would love to test your softie pattern (or any others)! I am a sewing WAHM so lots of experience with everything from clothes and cloth diapers to home decorating and everything in the middle. Thanks for your consideration!
kestlynl@yahoo.com
I too would love to test out your pattern!
This octopus is really cute!
Lynn
I'd love the opportunity to test sew. I have been stocking up on some "doll making" books lately and be inspired by beginning with your patterns. I can already see some adorable eyes with some sweet stitching. Perhaps a "Mod" octopus. BTW my brother lives in Jacksonville. He works at the base.
I could certainly (and would love to) try out your pattern for you!
Here is a link to my latest project, I did the skirts with a tutorial and the shirts off the top of my head. I am new at patterns so this would be awesome for me, and I could let you know if it is something a new/moderate sewer is able to do easily or not.
http://ilikethewayyoudo.blogspot.com/2009/09/another-finished-project-even-though-i.html
I would love to test your pattern. I have a lot of experience sewing my own monster softies. And, I have some fleece on hand. Plus, my 19 month old son would love it. His past time is playing with my pins and my pincushion (sounds dangerous, but he freaks out when I take it away).
I would love to test your pattern! My name is Jessica and my email is cobb.ja@gmail.com. I have some experience sewing softies and this one looks so cute, I have just the child in mind I would sew it for already!
These are very cute. I would love to give it a try. I have sewn bags and clothes. I am still learning a lot though.

But I also LOVE making softies and pretty much anything cute that I see!)

Sewing your cute creations would be a blast. I enjoy sewing clothes, quilts, projects, softies... you name it. Let me know when I can help.
Your stuff is so cute! I would love to test patterns for you. I can do clothing, softies, bags...haven't done a quilt yet.
I would LOVE to test your patterns! I have grown up around sewing, sewed my first item (blanket for my baby doll) on my grandmother's sewing machine when I was 6. I am interested in all things kid related and I also love to sew adult aprons. IF you ever do any boys items...please, keep me in mind! My son is 5 and there are so very few boy items out there
