Oh what a week it's been here at Sewing by Annie's.....bears, bears, more bears plus a rail filled with sewing....so I'd say it's been a busy one for me.
As promised here are the 4 bears I was making last Wednesday that I said I would share with you today [many of you have already seen these on my Facebook page....in fact they have been seen by over 8000 people!!!]. :-)
Since then I've made this one from a much loved hubby's trousers and shirts. I added a little pocket on the front and embroidered his initial on it. :-)
That one was seen by my next customer who wanted a bear making from her hubby's shirt so she also wanted his initial putting on a little pocket on the front. :-)
Then came a little school bear for a young man leaving to go to 'big' school....this was the school I went to one or two years ago. :-)
Next was a bear wanted in memory of a man who as you can see was a sports man who took part in many sporting challenges.
And finally was this little Theresa bear wanted in memory of a lady who played in a local rounders team....this one was wanted for her funeral.
What a lot of bears I've made this week and each one has a story to tell....I really love making each and every one.
On top of that little lot I've also filled my sewing rail with...
- 2 pair of trousers I've taken in at the waist and seat
- 1 pair of trousers I've shortened
- a winter's coat I've shortened the sleeves on and
- a dress I've taken in.
Hanging on the rail is also 2 pair of my leggings that as yet I've not had time to shorten.....what is it they say about a cobler's wife walking bare footed? :-)
The last photo I'm sharing is this....its the mystery plant Elizabeth identified for me correctly as Purple Loosestrife a few weeks back. It's now in full bloom and the bees and insects are loving it.
Sorry it's such a long post from me for today [I'm sure Julia will having me writing lines now....I must write shorted posts....I must write shorted posts.....I must write shorted posts.....]. Thanks for sticking with me to the end and for your, as always, lovely comments. I will do my best to pay you a visit ASAP.
Hugs,
Annie x

Gosh Annie, it is an "and breathe" moment. You have been so busy. Love the quartet of MB's and all the ones that follow - it would be hard to choose a favourite but afterall it is mainly about memories isn't it.
