In my creative space today is a project that I was supposed to get finished yesterday, instead of spending the entire day faffing around (somewhat due to my lack of patience and interest in computer hardware).... Oh, yes, and I might have gone out to have lunch at a nice little cafe too.
But anyway, I digress....this is going to be my Softie for Mirabel. It's just a simple little fuzzy bear softie that I designed yonks ago to use for Toy Society drops.
I had grand plans of having a proper tutorial written for making him, but I'm not going to have time, so I'm just going to share my pattern, and some super basic instructions. You can download a pdf copy here if you're interested, or I've also added links via my tutorial page.
It was written in a huge hurry so if there are any glaring errors, I'm apologising in advance!

In other crafty news, I was very lucky to be able to go along to Pips book launch for Sew La Tea Do on Tuesday night. I forgot to take my camera, so lets just pretend that Pip is signing my copy of her lovely book in this photo, shall we.....

Such a cute teddy-to-be!!!
ReplyDeleteLove all that own design fabric in the photo there. Sounds like a great night out as well. I will have to check out the book. Very cool. Lou.
ReplyDeleteAha! Now I know what Softie for Mirabel is....hmmm I was looking at a knitted elephant the other day thinking he looked a bit lonely....perhaps he's off to Melbourne?
ReplyDeleteVery cute bear. He'd make a great stocking filler. Wish I could get away with handmade stuff in my kids stockings. They would twig straight away that it was Mummy not Santa unfortunately. The Sew La Tea Do book has me intrigued. I will have to keep an eye out for it.
ReplyDeleteThat owl fabric is darling!
ReplyDeleteCute softie! My 3 year old has just informed me that he likes it (read that "Make me one please Mummy").
ReplyDeleteWhat are you doing with all the yummy fabric?
Super cute! I love the owl fabric too :)
ReplyDeleteYour bear has eyes that remind me of someone's fabric. Now whose was it? Heather Bailey .... Robert Kauffmann .. I just dont know...
ReplyDeleteFuzzy Bear is so cute, I'm sure a little boy or girl is going to love him!
ReplyDeleteThat softie's going to be super cute! Also liking that teal coloured fabric on the right, under the owls. Are they bikes printed on it?
ReplyDeleteThe bear looks great :-) And nice to meet Pip!
ReplyDeleteOh teddy is adorable! I love all the fabric you designed too.
ReplyDeleteOh he is soo cute!! xo
ReplyDeleteFuzzy Bear loks great, very cute. Ditto with others, loving the owl fabric in the shot too.
ReplyDeleteYour fabric looks divine, folded up like that, ready to be whipped into something incredible! ANd how exciting for you to be there at Pip's launch too. I've put the book on my Christmas list (ok, I've told my sister to buy it for me).
ReplyDeleteYour softie looks like it will be great. And... wow! Look at all those fabrics designed by you- how ace are you! :o)
ReplyDeleteVery cute bear:) and look at that fabric pile:)
ReplyDeleteThat bear is going to look irresistably gorgeous!! Wish I could sew, I'd have a go at making him. :)

I was recommended your blog and found this adorable teddy. I make and run a HUGGLES For Kids appeal for sick and traumatized children.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind if I make some of these for the children.
