WOYWW....

 Hello all.  I've had another week of being kept busy.  I have made my ATCs ready for the WOYWW 16th swap and managed to shorten the two bridesmaids dresses I had last week and made these three Memory Bears...



They were made in memory of a special Grandad.  The blue one in the middle was made for his wife and was made from a shirt he bought while they were out in India...he carries very special memories of a wonderful holiday together many years ago.







Since then I have shortened many more trousers and yesterday I patched and darned a jacket for a man I went to junior school with [one or two years ago].  I do love catching up with old friends and doing their sewing.
That's all from me for this week.  I have a Wedding dress coming today so will be kept busy with that I'm sure.  If you leave me a little message I will do my best to pop over to yours to see what you've been up to this week.
Hugs,
Annie x

Stunning memory bears, Annie. I previously thought they would be made of clothes worn frequently but I love the idea of one coming from a special time.
