I started this little one over 4 months ago and finally just finished her this weekend! Charley is made from really pretty (no longer available) viscose fabric from Tyber in Belgium. It's the type of fabric, I feel, that lends itself to being distressed quite well. I plucked, sanded, clipped and snipped and just otherwise "abused" this little bear so she would look and feel like an old friend. Her outfit is made from an old Raggedy Ann dress that had seen better days. I love the print on these vintage fabrics. I have one more bear in my UFO (unfinished objects) stash, maybe I'll get to her in another 4 months! Have a great week! xoxo, Janice
Her outfit looks very much like one my raggedy ann used to wear but I'm not sure it's exactly the same. It's a nice choice for your bear with the color of her fur. Looks like it was a fun one to make. She's very sweet looking and I trust she'll find a new friend to look after her very soon.

Thanks, Ginger! It came on an old Raggedy Ann doll so I just assumed it was hers! It had a little pinafore that I used quite some time ago, too. I hope she does find a new friend to live with soon! Hugs, Janice
DeleteVery nice color.... The outfit looks so cute on her!!!

Thank you so much, Esther. I'm happy you like her! Hugs, Janice
DeleteOh I love her, she has a very sweet tilt to her head that is so adorable. Love what you have done to this fabric, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Joanne. She's made from the remainder of a scrap from SAS. I'm working on a bunny from one of the scraps today. I can't thank you enough for telling me about that fabric! Hugs, Janice
