A Baby Bear for T

Sewist — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Ok, I will admit this make was actually finished two years ago, which shows how far behind I am with updating my blog (sorry about that!). I couldn’t resist sewing a bear for my neighbour’s baby son T, although I was a little apprehensive as I’ve never sewn anything for such a young child before […]

Celestial Plushies – part one

Sewist — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 10:00:00 +0000

I wanted to do something different for my latest Minerva Brand Ambassador project, so I decided to see how many things I could make from a metre of fleece. I started with two bears, using the white reverse of the fabric as a contrast for the ears. Check out my latest post at Minerva for […]

Rainbow Dragon

Sewist — Tue, 20 Apr 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Since Lockdown 1.0, I haven’t done much sewing – the majority of things I made were face masks for friends and family. I wanted to sew something as a Christmas present for K, but what do you make a young boy who loves dragons? A dragon backpack of course! I’ve made plush toys before, but […]

Sympathy Bears

Sewist — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 14:41:37 +0000

Sympathy bears weren’t something I had originally set out to make. But after I made Caramel, I heard that a friend’s cat had died. That’s the kind of time when you would give that friend a sympathetic hug. However, said friend lives in a different country, which made it impossible to give a hug in […]

Unseasonal, but finally finished!

Sewist — Tue, 23 Jun 2020 10:00:00 +0000

When you think of polar bears, you probably think of snow, ice, and generally cold weather. But this particular polar bear wanted to enjoy a hot summer – or at least as hot as the weather gets here in England! So here is Martin the Polar Bear, who has taken a liking to watching cookery […]

A (not-quite-so) Seasonal Bear UFO

Sewist — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 10:00:00 +0000

I will admit I started making the Polar Bear last year, with the aim of him featuring on my blog before Christmas. Unfortunately ‘real life’ got in the way, as it has a tendency to do, and although I finished the bear, I never got as far as the blog post! So here we have […]

Frank the Not Quite a Polar Bear

Sewist — Tue, 12 Nov 2019 10:00:41 +0000

Ok, so I will admit that this pattern was for a Polar Bear…. and wasn’t actually quite so large either – but when has that ever stopped me?? I printed the pattern off at 200%, pieced the pages together and made myself a brown bear who is the perfect size to cuddle while watching tv. […]

The Three Bears at Minerva

Sewist — Fri, 11 Oct 2019 09:00:07 +0000

I’m back at the Minerva blog today, with four makes from a metre of Christmas cotton! This was a really fun project to make and as you can probably tell, we had lots of fun taking the photos too!

Jumbo (finished)

Sewist — Tue, 24 Jul 2018 09:00:06 +0000

Do you remember ages ago when I was working on the Jumbo bear pattern by Emma’s Bears? Well, I’ve finally got him finished! Jumbo lives up to his name – he’s so big, he takes up the entire chair! So at the moment, he’s sitting on the floor, looking out of the window. I didn’t have […]

Forest Bear (finished)

Sewist — Tue, 01 May 2018 10:00:30 +0000

Yes that’s right, the pear-shaped project is finally finished! Yay! I machine stitched the arms and legs, but hand stitched the paw pads – they were just too small and fiddly to even attempt to sew by machine. The main problem came when I realised I’d sewn the limbs ready to attach for a non-jointed […]
