Happy weekend FB friends I hope you're managing to stay cool in this late summer heatwave! Today I'm sharing a sweet memory bear, made beautifully by Cindy using the Patchwork Bear pattern. This lovely bear has been made from a toddlers dress and also her late uncle's clothing. I love the little lace cuffs and Cindy tells me there are some small items sewn inside this bear as well! Until next time, Elle xx

Trisha's Burberry jumper Jingle Bear 🐻 made from her hubby's favourite jumper that was accidentally shrunk in the wash 🙄❤️ She used the Jingle Bear Pattern and made the hat from the remnants!... Gorgeous results from a washing disaster! Thanks for sharing Trisha 🐻

Millie's keepsake memory elephant made using the Ella Elephant Pattern. This beautiful cotton print fabric suits the subject perfectly and I just love the oak leaf and the muted autumn colours! Thanks Millie! . . . #myfabricheaven #autumnkeepsakeelephant #elephantkeepsakepattern

Annie's keepsake memory bear made using the Little Bear Pattern from a jacket, shirt and hankie belonging to her late father. I love the tweed fabric and the Little waistcoat Thanks Annie, I think Alfie Bear is stunning! . . . #myfabricheaven #sewingkeepsakes #sewingbears

As a mark of our respect for Her Majesty on the day of her State Funeral we have this beautiful tribute bear to share here today. This amazing Queen Elizabeth II themed bear was made beautifully by Sue using the Jingle Bear Sewing Pattern. She has made part of the body from Union Jack fabric and added a simple gathered skirt in the same fabric, which incidentally is a creative way to make the bear appear to be wearing a dress. I love the diamante bracelets, necklace and tiara which adds the perfect touch of Royalty... Doesn't she look regal?...
