This pair of teddy bears are very special to me, I've had them for nearly two years now.I knew I wanted to get my grandma something soft and pink, hopefully something that could bring her at least a little bit of comfort. David found one and I loved it straight away, knowing it was what I needed to give her. I put a big, bright pink ribbon around it's neck. It was a hard time for my family, David took me back to the newsagent and bought me another one. When my nanna passed away, I was given the option to look after her teddy so chose to keep the pair together.
I recently made a dress for one, it was very easy. I might make another one in a different colour for the other teddy. I simply made a circle chain with a circumference as wide as the chest, rows of single crochet make up the bodice. Then I used a shell stitch for the skirt. Last to do was 2 shoulder straps leaving holes for the buttons, and sewing on the prettiest buttons I could find that would suit. I chose ones with a nice shell texture.
It might be fun to make a frilly pair of underpants to go under the dress, if I ever get around to it.
Love this little dress on your bear!! Very cute, and I like the shell pattern for the skirt part of the dress!... I love crochet too!.. and sewing, and various other crafts! Nice to meet you! ~tina
