Small Teddy Bear

I was just fooling around in my sewing room & dragged out an old pattern for a Teddy Bear. I honestly did NOT read the instructions & in my mind I was making something 15 inches tall. It's not. More like 10 or 11 inches. I used an old shirt that Prince Charming says shrunk.


The buttons definitely make this something that can not be played with by a child. It does not have real joints. Just sewn thru with thread.

Monsters! Oh My!

Started out as a RAK Quilt. Ended up being completed & sent overseas.

This was my first time using the “flange” technique. It’s a little fiddly, but very nice looking.

I’m sorry that there are duplicate photos. I struggle with posting on my blog from my iPad.












Sewing

Very little sewing going on right now. More like straightening up, sit down, get distracted, get up & go find something else to do. Not sure why.


I suffer terrible insomnia. Really terrible. So far MY insomnia is stronger than a few prescriptions, to I just deal with it. I got up last week at 1AM & sewed 7 of the half blocks I need for the top of My Everlasting Wreath Quilt. Now all I need are the little bitty side blocks. the "top" half blocks & the "side" sliver blocks are not part of the pattern. So....It's taking a little brain power to get done. Not such a good thing to be using (brain power I mean) when you are sleep deprived ! LOL
