For: Infant/Baby

Style: Cute, Whimsical, Traditional


Materials

100% cotton flannel, 3x stretch cotton ribbing, cotton thread, Sulky embroidery thread for machine embroidery, Pellon Stick & Tear stablizer. The bear is a built-in pattern on my Janome 1100 Special Edition, but I changed the colors!

What was your inspiration?

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Go for it! Flannel cheap as are embroidery designs, if you watch for sales.
