Ok, really bad pun, but I didn't get much sleep last night (Brynne was up from 2am to 4am), so I'm not completely awake. The topic is a little late, but I thought I'd share what I made Brynne for Valentine's Day. I made a little felt bear with a dress and a matching dress for her:
I found the fabric at JoAnn's and fell in love with the print. Unfortunately, the quality was what I probably should have expected - not very good. Here's a close-up of the bear:
and her backside, complete with appliqued felt heart:
I adapted the bear pattern from this Japanese Aranzi Aronzo book:
Brynne seems to like the bear, as it is now a bit more disheveled than when first completed!
that's a very cute pink bear! and I dig that fabric too

That is really cute! I love the little heart appliqued on the back. My mom used to make me nightgowns when I was little and she'd always make mini matching ones for my dolls too--I LOVED it!

The bear and dress are too cute! I love how the "love u" heart is perfectly centered on the back of the bear's dress.

How funny; I was just at JOANNEs yesterday and fingered that fabric. I liked the print too but it seemed a little on the thin side.
