Citrus Bears

I found this great fruit-themed cotton print, and was inspired to make some mini bears in bright and cheerful citrus-y colors. I used the print for the bear's tummies and ear accents, and used a contrasting color thread to applique the fabric to the bodies. Their mouths are hand embroidered, and their eyes and noses are made from felt.


These little guys (6.25 inches X 6.25 inches/ 16cm X 16cm) are great for baby gifts, since they have no buttons or other choking hazards, and are made from soft and cuddly fleece.

Those are adorable! I wish I had seen them a few weeks ago when I was racking my tired brain for some more things to add to my friend's shower basket! They would have went great with the booties I made! Great idea, wonderful finished product. Thanks for sharing!
