Just in Time for Christmas!!

My Jaay Bears are available for purchase. If interested or if you have any questions, you can email me at LegzToyz@gmail.com , leave a comment here, or the fastest way is to leave me a private message via my facebook page. 

Hats and scarves were handmade by my daughter, Elle ♥ 

Do you know of a child in hospital or with serious illness that could use a surprise gift of one of my stuffies?? I would like to give back this Christmas by sending out a few pkgs to children in need of a serious bear hug *wink  You can contact me the same as above with info on the child you'd like to see receive a gift like this from a Secret Santa. 

John Deere & BFF Bears

I just finished this custom teddi-bear for a lady. She wanted the John Deere theme. I am so pleased she likes how it turned out. I will be tweaking a smaller bear for baby Kinsley to go with it. The material is lambskin fleece, and man oh man is it soft!

The BFF bear is for my Grand daughter. Making matching PJs for this one.

I have all of my Jaay Bears finished, and my daughter is hard at work knitting the hats and scarves.
Hope to post them for sale before month's end. I will be starting work on Christmas PJ's very soon. Will be posting pics so if you like them and want them in time for Christmas, you can order them as well!

These are the PJs I made to go with the bear. A long sleeve tshirt using the fabric to embelish a sugar skull on the tshirt and cropped bottoms with bottom slit and bow accent.

Another 3am reveal ;)
Quilting is a big deal right now in the sewing world. Once upon a time you went to a fabric store and purchased material you saw and touched, by the foot/yard. Today, material is sold by the Fat Quarter(Picture a square cut in 4).If you went to ebay right now and searched for 'fat quarter', you'd probably find something like this....
                                                             
 This is called a Fat Quarter Bundle. You see the 2 fabrics on top are what I used to make the above sample. I bought this by winning the bid for approx $10 shipping included.  Since I bid and won on this, I've learned a great deal about the 'game'. This wasn't that great of a deal after all, but I don't regret the purchase, I definitely didn't overpay. So, I guess that's something :)
The next week or so I'll be playing with patterns in search of 3or4 pajama options for my Christmas Line. I'll be using flannel/flannelette unless you want a custom order using other fabric types. My Jaay Bears in these 4 colors; Camel, Black, White, Brown.

SOLID PLAIN VELBOA FAUX FUR SHORT PILE FABRIC

My daughter messaged me from work all excited to tell me her boss let her have a whole stack of these boxes. The perfect size for a JaayBear wearing a Christmas toque (hat) and scarf, AND a matching hat in 'human' size ;)  Also, the next size up just in case you want to order two bears! The cost to ship these will be extremely minimal, which is majorly impressive given the outrageous shipping costs today.  

Okay, it's almost 4am Why does my brain get all creative in the middle of the night, It doesn't matter what I'm doing, blogging, writing....sewing..... *yawn.

Until next time,

         Play Nice & Be Safe!

Getting ready for Christmas! Perfect gifts for ALL!! Coming soon!

 Here's Jaay Bear. A little closer to what I had envisioned for my very first teddy bear pattern. I am pretty stoked with how it's coming together. I have to remind myself it is going to look sooooo different when made with faux fur, even though it is a very short pile. It is soooo soft and soooo shiny. You'll get to choose from four colors and if you want......
You can choose the fabric for pjs for Jaay and her new caretaker.

I used to sew a great deal. Pajamas were a staple at Christmas time. I always made sure my kids wore new PJs on Christmas Eve so they'd be ready for picture time on Christmas morning.
I remember a few years ago, one of my boys pouting he never got pajamas anymore. I was shocked, pleasantly so.  I really thought they'd outgrown the tradition.

So, this year I will be taking orders for pajamas, whether you want a bear or not is entirely up to you. Here are a few fabric choices.

Even pajama pants with pockets because my boys like them that way.


 Flannel nightgowns for those of us who still love to curl up in one on a chilly winter's night. My best friend will be applauding this one. I made these for her a couple of years back and I think she's due for a few new ones.








 I've even remembered our little doggies.
 I'm only a one woman show,
so only making the one size in a stretch material,
I have yet to choose.






Here's an example of the fabric choices

                                     

 These are some of the patterns I have and will be using.
