Teddy Bear

Every Teddy Bear has personality... and this one really says it out loud... I am full of Joy... ! :)

Made of colorful cotton fabrics.. this teddy sure gets a lot of attention... wouldn't you agree ?

The bow looks too big... ha ha.. I will make it smaller then..

Can you imagine a kid hugging this bear... oooh lovely...
I just love to see  children have  their favorite toys.. and drag them everywhere 'till they are worn... and ripped... LOL

Happy to make this one... hopefully I can make more soon...

Happy to have this colorful Teddy.

I have the original doll from Russia that  I bought from a Craft store near Dallas area... see I even forgot where exactly I bought it.

Usually I always think twice to buy even the smalest things, but not for this one .... :)  it's too cute.

 I just grab it then Pay and Go...

Of course this doll become one of my inspiration... I make pin cushions, and a softies just like Matryoshka doll...   and planning to make a quilt with this pattern which would be lovely I imagine.  Every time my eyes struck to this doll... either it is a pattern on cloth.. or even a pencil case... that will be most likely I'll try to own it... Looking at them just gives me joy.... :)

Try to put a flower brooch in the middle and ruffle in the front... looks cute.

This cute face is never forgotten.... oh I love this.

There they are... three of them.

Aku lupa kapan pertama kali suka  pada boneka kayu Rusia ini...

Matryoshka doll adalah boneka kayu dari Rusia. Boneka ini terdiri boneka paling kecil sampai yang besar.. 

Aku beli di toko craft di Dallas.. tapi sudah lupa dimana pastinya... karena sudah lama siiih... he he he. Waktu aku lihat boneka ini.. langsung saja ingin punya...

Aku bersyukur punya satu yang original... Boneka kayu ini dilukis tangan... wajahnya cantik... dan bagiku boneka ini adalah kerajinan yang memiliki nilai seni yang tinggi.

Tentu saja boneka Matryoshka ini menjadi inspirasi untuk beberapa kreasi kerjaan tanganku...
Pin cushions, dan boneka peluk sudah aku buat... dan sekarang berencana untuk membuat quilt aplikasi dengan pola Matryoshka ini... hmmm pasti lucu..

Setiap kali aku melihat boneka ini baik di pattern ataupun tempat pensil... aku selalu mau beli. Hanya melihatnya saja sudah membuat saya gembira... he he he..

Softies are always lovely

Softies are made with love. that is true.... :)
Like usual, I can't help myself for making only one.. I make elephant, bunny, owl, bird, cat... and more to come...
I make the pattern my self... and just unleash the creative spirit to do their own work.... I just follow them.. to draw.. to cut... picking up the fabric...sew it dan finally stuffed it....

The bright bali batik fabric become my favorite..
I select only brights for this project.... Yummy like candy aren't they ?

wooo hooo... let's start making it... I cut the fabrics just a little bigger  from the pattern for a sewing line, audition it by mixing and matching ... look at it... and this is the owl before sewing.

 

So.. now it is about time to sew it.... wow.. I'm excited !

Sewing with a happy heart.... yeay !

And... after that all the work is done... this is what I call Lovely softies...

they are huggable... and trust me... hugs them gives you warmth and an unspoken feeling.... ha ha...  

Happy sewing..
