Happy Monday! I thought I'd start the week off by showing you Susan's lovely Bunny and Elephant made from outgrown baby clothes. They look so cheerful and colourful in these varied pastel shades....fantastic result! Thank you for sharing the images Susan, they're an inspiration :) xxx (You can find the patterns here https://myfabricheaven.com/ )

Happy Wednesday Ladies.... the sun is shining, the birds are twittering and we are on the countdown to the weekend!! I thought you'd like to see this lovely teddy made by Christine from the Harley Bear Pattern. I think he looks really rich and vibrant in bright red, a real attention grabber. I particularly like the way she has stuffed his nose quite firmly to show its sweet shape. He's so cute! Thank you Christine for sending the images xxx The pattern can be found on the following link:- http://bit.ly/1MTDrri

Gemma made this colourful elephant from the Ella Elephant pattern using a few of her daughters old onesies.....great result Gemma! Thanks for sending us the images.I was really please to hear that she found the pattern user friendly ...in her words "Your patterns are really easy to follow. Some I've tried make no sense to me and they get complicated lol. I've made 3 from your designs a bunny and 2 elephants now...Think we're going for the teddy bear next" Hopefully we will get see him too? You can find the Ella pattern here.... http://bit.ly/1YIhejC

Good morning Heavenlies, today I just knew you'd love to see these images of Denise's Harley Teddies. She had the inspired idea of using some gingham fabric for the patchwork panels and I think the result is stunning! She made two identical bears and told me..."They were presents one for my boyfriend and one for his brother who lives and works in Dubai, as memory bears so they have one each!" What a lovely idea for family who are separated by too many miles! (The badge sewn onto the tummy area has been obscured at the request of the maker)...

Sallyann sent in these lovely images of her creations and said..... "I purchased Jingle Bear and Ella Elephant patterns in October 2015. I made 3 Bears and an Elephant in memory of my late Dad as Christmas gifts for my Mum,Sister,Niece and Daughter. They were made out of 3 shirts a tie and a blanket. Everyone was very pleased with them, I think they turned out really well. It was my first attempt to make soft toys & i found the pattern and instructions really easy to follow.Thank You for such a lovely patterns. Sallyann" Thank you so much Sallyann...
