Looking back through my 2011 photos I came across some photographs of two teddies I made.
The first was an unusual pattern in that it had no head gusset, so just two pieces sewn together so it gives him a slight 'odd' look.
The pattern was given away on a blog I follow.
The fabric used was from an old wool coat that used to belong to my husband's grandmother.
Another teddy that I made that year was 'Moonlight'
He too was made from up-cycled clothing, this time a kind of dressing gown/house coat that also belonged to my husband's grandmother.
I have more handmade teddies somewhere - I used to make a lot of soft toys 'in another life' when I lived in New Zealand when my older son was a baby. But they must be tucked away in the deepest darkest recesses of the loft somewhere. They will show up sometime next year as I endeavour to clear and sort said loft!
