Bears, Bears, Bears

Yesterday was a very productive Bear day. While James was home for Lunch, I cut out all of the Girl Bears, and while Dylan took a nap, I sewed them all. This was a record for me 16 bears in 2 hours, not too bad.

Now I just need to turn them, stuff them. and sew them closed, and then we are good to go! I have a feeling these bears are going to get a lot of hugs, they are too cute.

Up to my Ears in Bears

This month I will be co-hosting a preschool party, and I thought it would be nice to have a little present to give to all of the kiddos in Thade’s class. At first I made a big list of give away items that I could order, and then I took one look at just how much it would be to ship all of these items, and I decided I could come up with something better.

I gathered up all of my fabric, I decided to make Teddy Bears for all of the kiddos. I be pairing the bears with a little treat bag of M&M’s or maybe Teddy Grahams. I think the bears will be adorable, but I’ve got a lot of sewing and stuffing to get done before the end of the month.

Yesterday I sewed 16 Boy bears, and I’ve got to cut and sew 16 Girl bears soon. I’ve got to make another run to the store for stuffing too. I hope to have some more pictures of the bears in progress soon. Back to the sewing machine!

Simply Sewing

Today the mess can wait, I’m busy playing with my new favorite toy…

James got me the coolest Christmas present this year, a brand new sewing machine! I love it love it love it! It is a Brother 60 stitch machine, that can do just about anything. I’ve been busy sewing up a storm, and having way too much fun playing with my new sewing machine.

Finally, I Get To Make a Dress

This month I have had a few cool sewing gigs come my way, so my sewing machine has been extra busy. Last week a friend asked me if I would help create a dress inspired by Miss Patty Cake for her daughter who is turning 5. I thought the outfit sounded like a lot of fun to sew, and I finally get to make a dress.

Once the pattern was just right, I spent about 3 days working on the dress, when Dylan would take his afternoon nap. Once the dress was finished I couldn’t stop there, it needed something else.

I made a little purse too. I think that with a super cute dress, you just have to have a bag that matches.
