Bella Bear

Sewist — Tue, 15 Oct 2019 10:00:00 +0000

Remember Bella Bear from earlier in the year? Well she’s been patiently waiting for me to show her finished look, so here she is! I stitched her arms and legs into place rather than using toy joints, as I prefer the softer feel. I was aiming for more of a Gund style feel to Bella […]

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!

Spotty Atilla

Sewist — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 10:00:03 +0000

My original plan was to make a cuddly dog from this spotty faux fur fabric, but I didn’t have a suitable pattern, so I decided to make this a furry Atilla the Bun instead! I tried to fussy cut the paw pads, as the spots looked more like hearts in places, and I thought it […]

Bella Bear

Sewist — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 10:00:57 +0000

There’s always something odd about the look of a plush bear when it’s still in the UFO stage…. ….especially when you’re modifying the pattern to make it an unjointed bear! I cut circles where the joints would normally go, then stitched the inner limb to the body right sides together. The limb then gets turned […]

Belarius Bear

Sewist — Tue, 02 Jul 2019 10:00:56 +0000

Ok, I admit it – I like making plush bears! I ordered some faux fur from Fabric Land a couple of months ago, and couldn’t resist trying out the Belarius Bear pattern from Emma’s Bears. But I also added in a couple of variations – I didn’t have any toy joints to hand, so I […]

Hoppy Easter

Sewist — Tue, 16 Apr 2019 10:00:30 +0000

Ok, I know it’s not Easter Sunday just yet, but Hoppy insisted on not having to wait another week to be featured on my blog! Made from the same pattern as his furry brother, Hoppy has a totally different look due to the plush fabric I used instead of faux fur. The dimpled fabric wasn’t […]

Atilla the Bun

Sewist — Tue, 19 Mar 2019 10:00:27 +0000

A little deviation from the bears I have been making, this is my first attempt at making Atilla the Bun by Emma’s Bears. The faux fur isn’t the greatest quality, but I wanted to try using a black pen to add some shading around his eyes and on his nose, so I didn’t want to […]

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 […]

Forest Bear (UFO)

Sewist — Tue, 17 Apr 2018 10:00:28 +0000

Think back to last year, and the fake fur I purchased ready for Christmas…. yes that’s right the green is the same as the bat I made earlier this year, and this is the project I mentioned that had gone pear shaped! Willa is a smaller plushie than I’ve tried making before, and it’s proving more […]
