The creators of the book One Yard Wonders are producing a sequel, and are currently asking for project submissions. The deadline is April 1st (i know! sorry!) extended to April 11! but if you’ve got a pattern that you’ve been itching to publish, this could be your chance!
I decided to submit a pattern, but before finalizing I had to see the first book to make sure I was on the right track. So I picked it up from the library… it’s a darling book! Great pictures, some very cute projects, and the two things that every craft book should have but not nearly enough do: spiral bound pages and patterns printed on tissue and presented in an envelope.
Even though I had borrowed the book in order to use it as a guide, I couldn’t pass up a chance to make something as adorable as the “Peg Bear” pattern. So, shoving homework aside, I stitched up this little guy who is now affectionately referred to as Ninja Bear! Stuffed to the brink of explosion, he’s quite heavy, very huggable, and incredibly sneaky.

He’s wonderful, Sam!! I love the colors you chose for him.
Ninja Bear!
I love him! Good luck with submitting a pattern, Sam! All of your projects are awesome, so if they don’t choose your pattern to be in the book they’re crazy.
This is so cute. My boys would love it. I need the pattern. :)
um hi i stumbled on your blog while looking for a tutorial on how to make bracelets out of starburst wrappers. i looked at some of the other entries and i was wondering if you so;d those cute plushies you make, like in kits or the patterns, i think they are too cute and would very much like one.
I also really wish that you can sell the fabrics in kits so that we could make them ourselves because i really adore the pattern of the ninja bear and would like to have one for myself. :) I think all the things that you make are absolutely adorable !!!!
