Tweed collection

Having been asked in the past about Shetland Tweed bears I decided to start a new range, using the same Burra Bear design but working in a different fabric, Shetland Tweed made from wool from Shetland Sheep which is dyed, spun and woven in the Islands, this fabric is produced by Jamieson's Spinning http://jamiesonsshetland.co.uk/jamiesons/ they have a gorgeous array of pure wool fabrics, have a look at some I have made so far! I launched them at Flavour of Shetland 08, and they went down really well!

Flavour of Shetland 08

Flavour of Shetland 2008, what can I say, wet, wet, wet, that was about it, we set up on the Wednesday night which was fantastic, warm, dry, but the next day the rain came, it did let up on Saturday (thankfully!), there were quite a few folk around and it was a good atmosphere but Sunday made up for it, with galeforce winds and driving rain, we packed up early, got a takeaway and came home to warm up!

Burra Bears diary

Hey, just started to have a Bear blog, have had my own ranting blog for years now, but thought it was about time I added this, to let you all know how we are doing, would be great to hear from all you original Shetland Teddy Bears!
