My son’s school has got a really sensible policy of not letting you send your child back to school until 48 hours after any sickness bug. I love this rule, it means that we have an extra day at home during term time when Theo doesn’t feel poorly any more, but he’s not allowed back to school. We had one of those today and he had the great idea of making a teddy.
He carefully designed his teddy and cut it out and went through my bag of scrap material to decide which body parts would be in which materials. The result is a slightly Frankenstein-esque teddy, but he’s certainly unique and Theo adores him. I have to say I’m quite surprised with how nice he turned out too, and it’s great to use that sewing machine that I went mad to have about 10 years ago and have only used once to make bunting last summer.
Of course, this teddy wouldn’t be at all suitable for a baby or young child, I dare say the eyes will fall off fairly regularly, but for a 7 year old it’s ideal. I thoroughly recommend giving it a try!

Scraps of material stuck on the different body parts to show what they would be made from
Cut-out and ready for some nerve-wracking inside-out sewing together!
Teddy next to pattern
Theo called his creation a ‘Zonking’ so we made a label with the name on
And the designers name on the back of the label…
Ta daaah!
Love it! The best toys are the ones you make yourself.
Thanks Steve! Can’t say I’ve ever made a toy before, but my son now wants a whole zoo of home-made animals so I think I might be kept busy!
