little softie bears


This little fellow is a sneak preview (currently unstuffed and unarmed), of 1 of the 5 bears in my new range of softies.

These bears are much more baby-friendly, cute and cuddly than the Bad bears from last year, so I am hoping they will be more appealing to everyone with a baby in their lives.

I am actually considering sewing them exclusively by hand, simply because getting out the sewing machine lately turns the whole sewing experience into a formal, boring exercise. When I sew by hand it means I can sit in the living room with husband, watch tv and sew. Creating my lovelies becomes a part of the evening, rather than the whole evening, and yes, perhaps the fact that I find myself watching Big Brother every night at the moment my be a factor.
