A work mate asked me ages ago to repair his teddy bear. This poor teddy had been in storage, in pieces and covered in sawdust, he was looking very unloved.
So today I unstitched, unstuffed, re-assembled, stuffed and stitched him back together again. I gave him a brush too. He's looking much happier but I'm thinking I might make him a waistcoat to freshen him up.I also finished a Moonshine "Frilly Bag" today, so that's another finish for OPAM challenge for March. I fell in love with this bag at the AQC, just had to have one, it's so girlly!!Now off to make a waistcoat!

Love the bag Jo - Youd didn't waste anytime getting it made LOL. You have given Mr Ted a fantastic new lease of life. You could open up a hospital .....
Hey Jo!
I agree, that ted needs a coat!! You did a good job of putting him altogether again :+)

PS: Great to hear you had so much fun at AQC.
What a sweet thing to do for your workmate. I am sure they will love it. Please show the waistcoat.
Poor Ted. He looks much happier now that he is fixed. A waistcoat would look nice, good idea.
Am loving the frilly bag.
Hi Jo,
didn't know you had a dr. in teddy surgery ~ you did a great job!
And not only with that poor teddy but also with the bag ~it's gorgeous!
Teddy looks so much better now. I think a waistcoat would make him even happier.
Great bag you made!
Nice bag you made. Have a great day
Well i'll be darned if that isn't pld blue eyes, is the waistcoat tartan ?
Oh...that bear loves you...he says thankyou over and over again...:o)

that looks like one very happy bear now Jo!!!! and i just love your bag, no wonder you had to have it!xx
I'm so in to girlie things,and that bag is sooooo gorgeous! I love the fabric you chose.
Teddy looks much happier! Yes, he'd do well with a waistcoat. :-) I rescued a couple of very old teddies from the op shop last year and one of them is sporting a felt waistcoat I made him, he looks loved now.
It's great to see you have made the bear happy again! The bag is gorgeous.
Oh Mr. Ted looks "so much better now" after your T.L.C. and that bag is to die for...just love it!
