Good morning all  Today I have this sweet little bear to show you, made by Jayne who told me that she made her for a special raffle prize. I adore the little tutu and matching bow, I think this bear would be a little girls dream teddy! Thank you for sending the photo Jayne. https://goo.gl/9MzlbK myfabricheaven.com  

Well, I thought I'd brighten up this dull January day with this colourful image sent in by Nic who said...."Thought you might like to see the Ellie I made with the trunk flipped & turned up .. you posted one of your customers photo's who had made one last year, great idea! Ella is equally lovely either way, love your patterns , keep up the good work x"Thanks Nic, I love your fabric choice, as always (I bet you've got a secret stash to die for!!) - message to self... NEED more fabric! ;) xxxhttps://goo.gl/yUXqux

Only 6.5 weeks to go and many of you are well underway with your Christmas sewing projects. Here is a lovely example of a Christmas teddy made by Kathryn from the Harlequin Bear Pattern. She told me "I have just finished making my Christmas bear using your Harley bear pattern." "I'm new to sewing and self taught. I found your pattern easy to follow and the result is fab! My children love him. We're going to have a go at loppity bunny wabbit next! Thank you again x"Thanks for sharing the photo Kathryn. A stunning result considering its your 1st!...

I've been busy making a little surprise for my dear Dad's birthday..... WAY back in the day he used to attend Itchen Grammar School (Southampton) when the uniform was a maroon blazer with bright green piping and he used to have a blue striped tie to signify that he was in the Viking House. All we had left of the original uniform was the school badge, so I had to acquire the necessary materials via copious internet searches! All well worth the effort though as he was so amazed with the result and Toff Bear now has a permanent position...

Happy Friday all! Today I have this sweet little fluffy-faced creation to share with you, sent in by Jackie from beautiful Ireland who told me that she'd reused her daughter's newborn clothes to make a teddy and thought a fluffy face would be nice! .... She certainly looks very cuddly! Thank you for sharing her Jackie - and have a lovely weekend eveyone! :) xxx
