After giving Sir Bear to my niece for Christmas, we both decided she needed a much larger wardrobe. The skies were grey, and we were a bit bored after Christmas, which resulted in endless hours of stitching fun. The coat above, which makes the bear look like a Russian princess, was made by my niece's mom, Deborah. Her sewing skills truly amaze me, and only a detail shot of her perfect stitches will help you appreciate her work:
We made SO many accessories in one afternoon:
I really love the little purse I made her, and the combination of red flannel and dark brown ribbon and felt:
I was so impressed with my niece's handiwork - she was so patient and diligent with her needle and thread, making the red heart shoes, a red fringe scarf with a pre-cut snowflake, and embellishing another red coat with thread and ribbon!
I'm so glad we set aside some craft time together, it was the perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon... :)

Sounds like you had a great trip Flor!
I did, Carol! I did my best to not be crafty at first, thinking I needed a vacation, until I realized that making things actually is a vacation for me! :)
That looks so cute ! :-)
Thank you! ;)
Deborah, these are all so cute, and beautifully made! You must be a very good influence on your niece for her to be wanting to do all those!
Thank you for commenting on Patra's Place about my mermaid teatowel. I would love to see those mermaid transfers you won on eBay. Any chance of scanning them to put on here so we can admire them?
The bear and the clothes are too cute! I found your blog through flickr, I have been admiring your work. I'll visit again!
Thank you Gina! I can't take all the credit since her mother (Deborah) is quite the crafty lady. I (floresita) have always been inspired by her! :)
Oh, I'd love to share those mermaid transfers - let me think of the best way to do it, and I'll respond on your blog! :D
Thank you Amy! ;D
Floresita.... That is the cutest little outfit I have ever seen. You are very, very clever. Love visiting your blog too.
Thank you! I'm so happy that my niece, her mother and I all had a hand in making things for the bear - it was such fun! :)
