LIVE SEW-ALONG Call 2 – How to customize your Teddy Bear!

Sep 18, 2019 | Blog, FFF News

We’re celebrating the NEXT intake of our FUNKY FRIENDS Club by opening the Club up to everyone for a FUN NEW LIVE SEW-ALONG!

The second LIVE CALL was a whirlwind of
terrific teddy-making techniques ~>

I wanted to show how versatile a simple teddy bear pattern can be. I had so many different ideas I whizzed through them all and got sooooooooo excited!!!:)

Look how cute the basic Calico Bear Signature Bear Pattern looks as a Birthday Bear. This is a fabulous memento for any birthday not just a 21st. You can get everyone at the party to sign your special bear instead of a guest book.

Then we turned the basic Calico Bear Signature Bear Pattern into a Wedding Bear with a cute veil and some fabric flowers.

Then we made her the man (oops teddy bear) of her dreams as the Groom bear with a cute bow-tie. Another great idea is to make a memento of your special day using the wedding dress and groom’s outfit too.

After that we had a Christmas Bear! I had a go at cutting some ivy leaves and added some glitter pom-poms for a cute Christmas Teddy Bear.

And last but not least, I made a mortar board for a Graduation Bear!

In the next call we’re going to sew lovely keepsakes with my Calico Bear Pattern! I’ll be talking about interfacing, embroidering keepsakes (memory bears) and I’ll show you how easy it is to resize the pattern so sew a smaller, Mini Keepsake Bear and how to enlarge the pattern so sew an extra large, Maxi Keepsake Bear! Woohoo! Can’t wait!!! 😁

See you on the next call of our FREE Teddy SEW-ALONG!
