More bears?!

Sewist — Sat, 31 Jul 2021 10:00:00 +0000

I’m sure you’ve realised that I really enjoy sewing bears – especially ones from the Polar Bear pattern that was in Simply Sewing several years ago. I was offered the opportunity to make something using this faux fur, and it just had to be two brown bears! These bears were made at 200% sizing, which […]

Jumbo Bear (UFO)

Sewist — Tue, 01 Aug 2017 09:00:17 +0000

I loved the look of the bear’s paws in the Emma’s Bears Jumbo pattern, but unfortunately, Happy didn’t come with those “pulled toe” instructions. Jumbo lives up to his name, using an entire metre of fabric, and potentially multiple bags of stuffing! I was going to machine sew the seams for strength, but the weight […]
