Jaay Bear in fur, 1st sample.

Here is the 1st Jaay Bear using the low pile faux fur. This is the Camel color. A little tweaking left here and there but over all I am super pleased with how Jaay Bear turned out. Imagine a Christmas color toque and scarf, and that is how you can order your Jaay Bear . There will be a limited number available in the four colors.

I will be making pajamas once I have these completed, My nurse gave me a blast yesterday when she saw how swollen my feet were.  She ordered me to stretch out with my foot elevated if I wanted to it to heal in a reasonable amount of time. Sooo, like it or not I am listening to her, with my daughter making sure I do lol.

I'll keep you up to date. I can't use my sewing machine right now. It helps if you can feel your foot when it's on the pedal lol.

Hope you like Jaay! If you have any suggestions, or spot something amiss, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Out with the old... in with the new!

Hi friends! It's time to sell the last of my 1st Edition Stuffies

I'll be spending the next week or so making samples of the coolest Christmas gifts on the net

No hints! It would be nice to sell these and have the money to invest in more fabric. If you'd be so kind to share it would be greatly appreciated. 

If you want more than one, we can talk about a pkg deal.

Diva Dodo and friends

Introducing.... Diva Dodo

I changed up my original Dodo bird a little . 

The tail now resembles real feathers.

I cut out feather shapes and stiffed them up by adding a felt backing. 

Add in a few pink feathers to diva-fy it, and here she is! 

You will notice the feet are a little bigger. This is so it stands a little better.

New Fabric

Here is the new fabric being ordered this Friday. If you see something that catches your eye, be sure to let me know so I order enough.

This is a new fabric I am ordering it is called Cabbage Rose Fur. It's more expensive than what I've been using, but much less expensive than faux fur, I think it will make a very cuddly stuffed animal. Any stuffie I'd make out of this material would cost I guess we'll see how it works out first before deciding if it is something you all would like.

Order yours today!

Hi ! It seems my bear with the orange and blue flames is a hit. I'll be ordering more fabric this week, so if you want one too, you gotta let me know and order yours today. I am also ordering the 2nd swatch to make with the white accents and flame. 

Not to worry,
no two bears will be exactly alike.
Send me an email LegzToyz@gmail.com
or message me on Facebook. You can also leave your contact info in the comments here and I'll get back to you asap

I love this photo, 

and it gives you a better 

idea of the bear's size. 

I can personalize this with hand-embroidered 

name/date on the feet if you like.

Bears are $40 + shipping

If you give me your postal code I can tell you exactly how much shipping will be.

oOpS!

OOPS!

Here are my Dodo Birds. Wow, was it ever a case of trial and error. Unfortunately the pattern I purchased left much to be desired and ended up redesigning a few of the pieces. 

What do you think? 

Is this something you'd consider buying? Given the time and materials that went into these,

 I am asking $25 and am willing to make you a personalized one in the colors you want.

Beary Red - For Sale

 Here she is. Beary Red.
   SOLD!!

This is my first attempt at a flower. it was real easy to do and the little rose button seemed to be the finishing touch.  There is

a plethora of easy flowers to make on Pinterest. Just do a search of 'easy fabric flowers'. Many of them have a tutorial to go with them.

Beary Red is for sale. I doubt she'll be up for long. If interested, leave a comment or message me on Facebook.

Orange Brother Bears

I used a very soft polar fleece for  both of these bears. I ordered the fabric online at Fabricville and received the order two days later. Pretty darn good if you ask me. All of the fabric is beautiful.

TOP bear is orange with a flame pattern of Blue. Oramge and a touch of red.

 BOTTOM bear isorange with a motorcycle pattern. I was able to get the full motorcycle across the back. The scarf is flannelette, skulls wearing sunglasses.

Teddy Bear w Green Eyes

Here is a bear I just finished for someone. I love the way the green bow-tie brings out the green eyes. Still have to add the  boys' name, but thought I'd share it with you all without it.

Hope they like it!

I'm going to try and finish two more tonight I made for a customer.

The next one after those two will be looking for a forever home.

Teddy Bears and the Law

So, I'm having so much fun making Stuffies for you all. The extra $$ really comes in handy. No, I'm not making mega bucks, but when it nears month's end and the fridge is looking sparse, it does come in handy.
Imagine my surprise when I happened upon an article about the rules when it comes to making a profit off patterns for stuffies.
Did you know that sometimes when you download a 'free' pattern for a teddy bear, you are not allowed to sell what you make?I took a look at the site where I got one of my patterns for free and found a section where you are supposed to purchase a license to sell your finished product. It starts at $20 for 10 teddies and goes up accordingly. Anyone who has had to purchase the supplies and fabric needed to make a Stuffie, knows if you were to sell it, you'd be lucky to make $10. Which breaks down to approx $1 an hour for my time/ services. Now, if you factor in having to purchase a license, you are in actuality making approx. $8 or less profit for a 24  or more hours of work.
If I were to reproduce the pattern and sell it, then I can see where there might be a problem. As a past pattern designer (sports wear) I know it takes a certain amount of knowledge and creativity to produce a pattern from scratch.
What does all this mean? It means (for me) I will keep doing what I'm doing. When someone asks what pattern I used  I will continue to send them to the site I found the pattern. If the cops come to the door and threaten to put me, a Gramma, in leg irons for selling a teddy bear to my neighbor, so be it.
 I guess I'll be the next big news trending the internet ;)

The Bears and DoDo's have landed!

This is how I chose the materials for my first DandY DoDo Birds.

 As you can see, pretty much anything goes! 

I chose a body material that has lots of colors

 to pull from for the other parts.

The one above and below will be up for sale. 

I can't wait to see how they come together.

The pattern should arrive any day now.

I am going to use  a very soft flannelette fabric 

and adding a fusible interfacing to give it structure,

****

These are the color matches for the bears.

I am using an Anti-Pill Fleece fabric for these to amp

the cuddle factor. 

     

 

     

I'll post a few of the next steps along the way.

I can't wait to get started!!
