Introducing Ruby the Bear Rug!
This sweet bear started out as a fun project to go in our camping themed front window display. You guys loved her so much you wanted to make one of your very own. So we got to work on a pattern.
After some tweaking and leg work to find a place to print the gigantic pattern piece, we have a pattern!
The Ruby the Bear Rug is named after this adorable little girl. Sweet Ruby was the perfect model. When I asked her what the Bear's name should be, she proclaimed, "Ruby!". We agree!
Ruby the Bear Rug is the perfect gift for the littles on your list. It sews up in just 2-3 hours. The faux fur is messy but it's super forgiving. No need to be perfect with this one. And you don't have to be an expert sexist! The pattern is full of tips and tricks as well as detailed illustrations to help you along the way.
So grab a pattern and your supplies today!
