I would love to get involved with something like this but I don't have much time, unfortunately. As I was saying to some of the other ladies on the forum, I'd like to one day learn to knit and crochet as well. I'd love to start making teddy bears like this from old clothing:The hearts are all precut and to sew them together, stuff them, sew the opening together, takes about half an hour, if not less. I have novelty buttons I sometimes sew on.
Are you thinking of doing them?
But instead of making it for people whose loved ones have passed on, it would be a great idea to recycle old clothes and donate to children's homes. I hope to learn to sew on that level some day!
