Tony is finally out and about!!




My first of many more bears is for sale today in my ETSY Shop
Tony, named after my own very first panda bear my mum gave me when I was 5, (yes I still have him). tony is my first of a series of 6 bears that I'm currently working on.
All are made from calico, distressed using coffee and wax,
Sailors collars are a real favourite of mine, I love making them and I think they look pretty cool.
The sailor hat I designed my self. After trying to find a free pattern on the net I decided to see if I could wing it. I'm pretty happy with the end result. the hat is anchored down by a few stitches to Tony's head.
I was hoping to write a little story for him but drew a complete blank!:(
Go take a look

He's beautiful! I love his eyes ~ he looks a little bewildered and very huggable.
