This fabulous wedding party of Harley teddy bears have been lovingly crafted by Lisa over the last 3 months for her sister's wedding and she has styled them exactly on the bride's, groom's and bridesmaid's wedding clothes.Its amazing to think that Lisa was new to sewing and made her first Harley Teddy only a year ago!
