Teddy Bear Making Kit

I have decided I want to make a some special celebrations Teddy Bears this year. I have found the perfect bear pattern and bought some gorgeous fur to make them with, but before I dive straight in I thought it would be a good idea to have a practice run. And so, I bought traditional teddy bear kit, and this is how it went:

Felted Baby Booties

Today has been a very productive day. I've made three brooches and a pair of felted booties for my nephew.

With limited space in my new flat the best surface I could find to do my felting on turned out to be the hob. It worked very well and it was nice to do some felting again, it's been far too long. I intend to do a lot more.

Felt made and pattern pieces cut and ready to be sewn into little booties.

And here they are. Aren't they adorable?
