Albert and Annick, the French school bears, have spent the summer sitting on Steph’s bed. For Christmas 2010, I’d made them these outfits. Mme Smith asked me if I could make some more clothes.
The bears come with sweatshirts when you buy them. Since our return from holiday, I have been busy making more clothes. First I had to make the paper patterns.
I’d been asked to provide coats, hats, boots, socks, tee-shirts, trousers and pants, in a variety of colours.
Making a hole for the tail proved tricky. I made Annick a skirt too, for days when she feels feminine.
The tee-shirts were decorated with iron-on decals.
All ready for the winter term!
Impressionnant!
ReplyDeleteTres, tres jolie!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you have been busy! You are very talented.
ReplyDeleteThis is weird. I have just been to a blog in France. I tried to translate the comments through Google into English. There were a couple I didn't understand. Now I come to your blog and your comments are in French!! Is this just a Google glitch I wonder? Your actual blog comes through in English.
Not a Google glitch - Mags is a teacher of French, and I suspect Catriona is something of a polyglot!
ReplyDeletethanks for the compliments on the bears.
[or should I say "Merci" ?]
Those are very cute outfits. I suspect my local bears (who have to wander round in their furry 'altogether') may be getting rather jealous.
ReplyDeleteAre you back at work next week? If so, all the best for the new term.

School term starts today round here - but as yet I have had no calls requesting supply work. Remaining hopeful!
