As I mentioned yesterday I wondered what my little love bug would look like in felt. So I got cutting and stitching and this is what I came up with.
A "U pull on my heart strings" treat baggy.
I pieced the teddy using applique paper. I ironed all the pieces to the front of the baggy initially and then did a blanket stitch around the pieces.
Here is a pic of the appliqued bear, showing the pouch which has been left open for the heart on a string to fit into.
This is what the teddy looks like with the heart taken out of its pouch.
The baggy is made using:
2 5"x6" pieces of pink felt (front and back of baggy)
1 5"x2" piece of pink felt (bottom of baggy)
1 10" piece of ribbon (handle)
Below are some visual "instructions" on how to sew the bottom of the baggy and proceed up the sides.
(Hope this makes sense.)
Happy crafting.
