A little friend of mine (about 8 years old 😄) asked me to make him a panda bear…
I kept thinking about it for almost a year, actually starting new projects is never easy for me.
But here we are: Panda Bear version 1 🐼
I don’t think this is his final form yet, he will probably go through a few changes before becoming a proper pattern.
He is heavily inspired by Tommy Bear, with a few panda-specific details added here and there, especially the colors and eye patches.

So now I need your opinion:
what would you change? 👀

This little monkey has been around for a while…
but now it comes with a twist 🐒
Long arms, long legs, and a long tail,
just enough to hang around (literally) and never get lost.
It quickly became her favorite companion,
the kind that goes everywhere, even to the beach 🌊
And now I’m wondering…
would you like me to write the pattern for this one too?
Is this something you’d love to make? 🧶
Let me know 💛

Tommy Bear 🧸
One of my oldest designs… and still my favorite.
A bit asymmetrical (I was just starting out back then),
but somehow that makes him even more special to me.
This version comes with a tiny crossbody bag
and a cap with ear holes, because details matter 😄
Made from a super soft yarn that gives him that perfect plush texture (alize softy).
Not perfect, just perfectly loved 💛

Feeling extra grateful for our Easter guests this year 🐰

So we baked ‘cozonac’, dyed some eggs…
and put together these little baskets in record time 🧶

Inspired by a YouTube tutorial from Victoria Crocket: thank you, you saved Easter 🙌

The girls delivered everything (very seriously, of course),
and honestly… it turned out pretty cute

Here he is: Charlie the Rottweiler – the no-sew keychain 🖤🤎
I had such a great experience with my testers: , , .tinkler99 ,
They were incredibly involved, provided detailed feedback, and even helped with ideas for my next pattern : the Rottweiler toy (which I’m planning to tweak a bit, especially the ears… they need to look more Rottweiler-ish 😉).
I’m so grateful for this amazing community and all the support.
I truly believe you’re going to love this pattern!
So excited to finally share him with you! ✨🐶
