Finished toy Size: 35cm / 14 inch

I wanted to make a BIG, HAPPY, bumbly Bee that youd just want to pick up and HUG! The world needs bees and everyone can have their own cuddly one, too! Bumble has some small bits like feelers, so Id say this pattern is not great for a beginner… unless you desperately want a bee! Did you know Bees come in ALL different colours? We even have Australian Bees that are BLUE! So go wild and make your Bee any colour you like!

RECOMMENDED FABRICS:

Bumble can be sewn in most fabrics. I sewed him out of quilting cottons but stretch (knit) fabrics like fleece or Cuddle would be nice and snuggly!
