Further to last months post about The Cottingly Fairies I have this lovely update from Jane, who told me... "Here is Toddy - one of the pet names I had to for Dad. He is made from his "hope shirt" which he was wearing in hospital and came back from double pneumonia and made it "home"...he is Toddy the Taurean as he was made on Sunday 7th which makes him a little bull bear.

Alison said "Thank you for the lovely pattern. Easy to follow instructions and I'm really pleased with the outcome."Thank you for sharing the images with us Alison  xxx https://goo.gl/gsAsx6

I just love these bears! - made by Julie using a soft polar fleece fabric. The pink bear is from the Harley Teddy Pattern and the white teddy is the Jingle Bear Pattern. Julie said..." I'm a childminder so the toys I make are well and truly tested by lots of little people all under 5 years old. I've found they like the feel of fleeces and soft pile fabrics the best"..."
