Hello from Wales

[sandyrosie75]

Hi, I am new to bear making, just been playing with patterns and different fabrics
Enjoy looking at other handmade bears so thought this would be a good place for me
I am a mum to 3 daughters (17, 15 and 9), I love arts and crafts but my current obsession is bear making :D

Croeso i Teddy Bear Fair Sandyrosie, you have come to the right place to share your passion for bears. Have you made any yet or are you just about to take the plunge? Our lovely forum members will be only too happy to help you with any questions you might have, or just to chat. :) Where in Wales are you, we are in The Vale of Glamorgan.

Thank you for the lovely welcome, I don't speak weslh, but my daughters do. :)
I am just about to make my 5th bear, just playing around with patterns and getting the feel of it at the minute, quite interested in making needle felt features on them
I'm in Monmouth, small twee town on the border of wales, so I get the best of both worlds, I live in Wales, but get free carriers bags in England when I do my shop :D:D

Welcome, have a lot of fun on the forum...

You will have to pop down to see us here in Llantwit Major, lots of bargins to be had in the box now that we no longer go to the Teddy Bear Fairs. Love to see some photos of your bears, and dont worry, we all started somewhere. :6018:

Hey :). Welcome to the forum from me too. And welcome to the addictive world of bears. Warning, you will become hooked.... but it's so worth it. Can't wait to see some of your creations. If you need any help at all the guys here are fab and really can't do enough where possible.
