Good morning lovelies, this week I had the sweetest message from Mary and her young granddaughter Elle who showed me they'd been crafting some beautiful creations together from some of our patterns. They were all made from Mary's husband's shirts as memory/keepsake toys. I think this Ella Elephant is absolutely gorgeous, and I love the wooden "handmade" buttons too!! Thank you so much for sharing your story Mary and Elle xxI'll show further photos of their other creations another day, so watch this space...  

Look at this fabulous furry bear made by Barbara from the Harley Bear Sewing Pattern.  She said..."Hi, I thought I’d share my pic of the little bear I made from my Mum’s fleece. I used the Harley patchwork bear pattern. The instructions were so easy to follow and I’m really happy with the result. Thank you 😊"I love how this bear looks made with a fleecy fabric, so soft and cuddly! Its inspiring me to make a teddy using some recycled fleeces! Thank you for sharing the idea Barbara xxx

Joanna has recently made this lovely pair of memory bears from the Harley Bear Sewing Pattern.She said..."Just wanted to share my memory bears made from the Harley Bear pattern. The pattern seemed perfect for my late mum's coat and dress. I enlarged the pattern to make a slightly bigger bear for my brother" Thank you for showing them side by side, its interesting to see how much bigger you can make your bear just by enlarging the pattern! You've made them beautifully Joanna, I love their cheerful faces and I hope they bring you both lots of comforting hugs.
