Show Your Stripes Blog Hop: Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the Show Your Stripes Blog Hop. Not sewing fabrics with stripes very often, this was an extra fun challenge for me. My project is a teddy bear for my new grandson. It is made of fleece, and the nose, paws, ears and tail are a striped cotton fabric. The pattern is from: Purl Soho.com, called Wool + Liberty Teddy Bear. He is approx, 9 1/2" sitting, and hoping grandson loves him. For baby-safety, I appliqued the eyes instead of using buttons. Be sure to visit all of the other bloggers to see their creations. Thanks to Carla of Creatin' in the Sticks for hosting this blog hop. So much fun planning and creating with striped fabrics!
