  I recently revisited a series of small felt bears that I originally created a few years ago. Back then, I already liked their raw and expressive look. Very simple shapes, just a few lines, but a lot of character. The blanket stitch is intentionally visible — it’s part of the drawing as much as the construction.

That’s what made me want to turn them into a pattern. The idea stayed the same: keep it simple, accessible, no sewing machine needed, and very little material. A project you can start easily, while still having a strong visual identity. The pattern includes all the steps, with stitch diagrams and printable templates. 👉 The pattern is available here:  CocoFlower Atelier ************************************************************************ Want more patterns?  Explore all my tutorials here → Find me on Etsy a...

An ultra-charming little village with thatched houses, flea markets and friendly restaurants. We finished with a swim on the large sandy beach of Fanø Strand .  Here, cars can park on the beach. On our French beaches in Brittany, this wou...
