... there were three bears. They were made from shirts patterned in red, white and blue
They had little green backpacks
And on the sole of the right foot, each one had the logo of JD Home&Garden Services.
These fabrics all came from shirts belonging to our dear friend
Jason who died in December. His daughters particularly wanted the logo from his green workshirts incorporated somehow, and this worked well.
I used the green shirts to make the backpacks [the fabric was too stretchy to use for the bodies of the bears. Each backpack has a personalised label inside the flap. Special gifts for three friends - in memory of a wonderful man.
They are beautiful! I love the innovative way you included the logo! Kx
