From the Sewing Room…
I’ve ordered supplies this morning to make 6 jointed teddies for the children. I got English mohair in dark brown for the boys and dark honey for the girls. I’ll be stuffing them with wool batt from LaVonne’s sheep. I can hardly wait for it all to arrive. I’ve been wanting to make these since before I even had children. Is there anything more special than a mohair keepsake bear?
I worked with a man whose wife is a teddy bear artist. Each Christmas, there was a draw to see who would get the bear!
While I’m waiting, I’ll be thinking about how I want to personalise each bear. What I want is to highlight each child’s personality or interests.
