Scrap Happy June

oh! I’m so-o tired of making hexies

I took a break to play with the teddies

summer is on the way and the bears needed a change of outfits

a family portrait

and a back view

Arthur wanted “big boy’s pants” with real pockets to hold stuff

made from my favorite pair of very old, raggey jeans

he is wearing his sweater because it is still a little cool

and demanding a tee shirt which means they will all want one

Gilbert’s overalls are made from old sheeting dyed with kakishibu (Japanese persimmon)

there is a pocket on the front for his hankieand bear lining on the bib

(from when a grandson was small)

he wants to know if he can fly away like Mary Poppinslast but not least – Little Bear has denim, drawstring shorts

it has the smallest handstitched buttonholes I have ever made (for the drawstring)

he had to have a pocket too

I have discovered that bears have very short legs – the reason for the roll ups

discussing the pros and cons of living in the city and cutting down trees

Little Bear liked playing in the wood chips

if you go down to the woods today—- you may find teddy bears having a picnic

if it doesn’t rain!

and now we are off to look for tee shirt scraps
