DD3 has been sewing up a fleece storm lately. She started Catie the Cat, but we had to wait for cats’ eyes to arrive in the mail, so shifted gears to Pablo the Polar Bear for a friend’s birthday in late March.
After I blogged about the horse she painstakingly sewed for my nephew, Angela from Collected Yarns commented about Linda Carr’s book of fleece animals. 
Of course I purchased it for DD3. She was a real trooper working her way through the horse pattern – it was very complicated with tiny 1/4″ seam allowances. Fleece animals sounded just as fun with a lot less headache involved.
Pablo was quite simple to sew, although ensuring seam accuracy is a bit of a challenge with the 1/4″ seam allowances. I did help with the embroidery, and my job was to check on the seams once they were sewn. Isn’t he cute and cuddly?

He is ever so cute and cuddly. My kids are clambering for one each now!
According to DD3, this particular version is quite simple to make, so set your kids at the sewing machine! 🙂
Yeah the darn kidlets want a mamma made one lol!
Pablo is adorable! I’m so glad your daughter is enjoying that book:)
Your daughter is very lucky to have you as a teacher! But of course it is her creations so congratulate her for me. Pablo is a really cuddly polar bear!
