Luna Lapin: Bramble Bear by machine Head Sewalong (same as Erik the Polar Bear)

Today we make Bramble the Bear's head. Sewalong with me as I take you though all the steps needed to make your very own Bramble the Bear, or Erik the Polar Bear, who is Bramble's smaller cousin. Both Bramble and Erik are the designs of Sarah Peel of CoolCrafting who is the designer of Luna Lapin and all her friends. You can buy kits for the characters and their clothes from www.coolcrafting.co.uk I am not affilicated with Sarah Peel or Coolcrafting in any way. My thanks go to Aileen Abercrombie, Sharon Warren and Jan Franklin for the Ko-fi's they bought me, the money from which I used to buy the pattern and the bouclé for this bear. Thank you very much ladies for your kind generosity both on behalf of me and the many people who will watch and hopefully benefit from this video in the years to come. Bramble is a perfect started project for a new sewist or for someone wanting to try sewing soft toys for the first time. Happy stitching!
