Tap dancing Polar Bear in Stitches


You already met this talented bear the other day, starring on my very first fabric design and this is the embroidered version. PDF pattern will be available some time in the next couple of weeks as a set together with a smaller design!


This was one of the first sketches of the Dancing Bear. It is somewhat related to this tiny Bear portrait embroidery I did earlier this year. For some reason the brown bear turned into a  Polar Bear along the way. It is so hard to get motivated tap dancing, multi-coloured scarf waving Polar Bears to model for you though... ;)

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! 

P.S. the fabric I used for the embroidery is Pretty Little Things Jada by Dena Designs for Free Spirit Fabrics.

  5. What a fantastic bear! I love how you stitched him onto the patterned fabric - I usually play it safe and use plain, but this inspires me to think differently... Chrissie x
