Good morning, today I want to share a special sewing project with you. These adorable teddy bears are very special to me and this is why. The red plaid is made from my grandfathers flannel shirt and the blue is from my grandmothers chenille bath robe. They sit on my dresser near a picture of the wonderful couple. I cut out all the pieces and sew them together, stuff with fiber fill and string the arms and legs on with embroidery floss and the buttons from the shirt with a long doll needle. The eyes are buttons from the shirt also. The nose is satin stitch embroidery. I always tie a ribbon around the neck and my signature mark on all dolls and teddy bears I make is a silk rose sewn near the ear of bears and a rose stamped on the back shoulder of my dolls. Can be made from any garment, I just prefer flannel shirts and chenille bath robes.
They are always near and dear to me as I see them first thing every morning. Thanks for stopping by. See you again soon.
