Two Teddy Bears

This is a really  useful patter for a baby's teddy bear and I have made them as gifts for two expectant friends.  The legs and arms are weighted and they can be made from one fat quarter. and a little piece of felt for the face and paws.  contact me for the nam,e of the pattern or I can make one by request.   lesiurelearners@gmail.com

Pretty Sketch book

Using a silk painting as a base, I have placed this onto felt and free hand machine embroidered to give on all over  pattern. Then  I have couched down some remnant lace, some ribbon and some sheers.  I have cut out a white piece of material for the leaf and appliqued that on and I then hand embroidered and added some sequins.

To finish I  squared the material to decorate a sketch book and zig zagged the edges.  I then stuck down the material onto the cover with PVA.

Two bags

To make the heart for this bag:  Use four different but colour conscious designs of material.  Draw a template of a heart and cut it into four regular parts.  Using bondaweb reassemble the heart shape and machine zig zag to applique.  Using the four different deigns of material I have used log cabin around the outside of the square.

Machine embroidery onto a silk painting - A Purse

Using a silk painting backed with felt I have free machined embroidered a random patter .  then using various other materials I have appliqued these on top of the silk painting  with further free machine embroidery.

I then applied this to a piece of pelmet vilene with bonda wed and similarly to the lining. putting the two together wrong sides together I folded them into a purse shape and zig zagged around the edges this is best done at least two times. I finished the purse with a bead a plastic fastening.
