I have also made some bears and pillows using clothes that I have been given.
the first two pictures were for a mom who lost her son. I was asked to make two bears. I was given so many clothes that I made a bear and pillow for his mom, girlfriend and three kids, mom had a hard time parting with all but one for the girlfriend so I was asked asked to make three more for the kids (2nd picture). All 8 of those bears were made from the same pattern but all the fabric took the shape differently. The three white bears were from nightgown for a mother and her two daughters, the single pillow was was leftover fabrics for a quilt that matched it and the last theee IU bears were for work associate for her and her two brothers after their dad passed.
