Only 6.5 weeks to go and many of you are well underway with your Christmas sewing projects. Here is a lovely example of a Christmas teddy made by Kathryn from the Harlequin Bear Pattern. She told me "I have just finished making my Christmas bear using your Harley bear pattern." "I'm new to sewing and self taught. I found your pattern easy to follow and the result is fab! My children love him. We're going to have a go at loppity bunny wabbit next! Thank you again x"Thanks for sharing the photo Kathryn. A stunning result considering its your 1st!...

Happy Friday all! Today I have this sweet little fluffy-faced creation to share with you, sent in by Jackie from beautiful Ireland who told me that she'd reused her daughter's newborn clothes to make a teddy and thought a fluffy face would be nice! .... She certainly looks very cuddly! Thank you for sharing her Jackie - and have a lovely weekend eveyone! :) xxx

Today Nakisha is sharing her slightly adjusted version of Ella Elephant... she made her so the trunk goes upwards instead of down and it gives her a whole different expression! Fantastic idea Nakisha and thank you for sharing :) xxx  https://goo.gl/d7i2VoYou can see more of Nakisah's work over on her own FB pagehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/960833597342337/

Happy Friday!! and today I have a lovely story to share sent in by Marion... in her own words " I thought that you might like to see the Penguins that I and my Grandaughter Emily, made for her class of 6-7 year olds.As the class is called 'the Penguins', I thought I would make a penguin for the book reading corner.... they now have a boy and a girl penguin and the colour of the scarves can be changed with the season. The children love them as they can have one sitting on their desk if they have done...

Today there is definitely a feeling of autumn in the breeze, so I'm clinging to the vibrancy and brightness of summer with this beautiful example of Ella Elephant made by Carolyn a few weeks back. Her choice and combination of fabrics remind me that summer has not quite evaporated away just yet...(I hope!)Thank you for sending in these lovely images for us Carolyn ;) xxx http://goo.gl/RIWemg
