So, I've got the Bear Carrier done except for the buttons and velcro. Is there a reason to do buttons for getting the animal in the carrier and velcro to fasten it around the child's back? I have two buttons, but already want two more to allow for multiple size animals and dolls, but am also thinking that buttons would be more secure than velcro for the other tabs and might get more for that.
It is super-cute and was so easy to sew. I used gingham for the outside and lining, a scrap of floral quilting cotton for the pocket, and a heavier weight for the straps. No need to pull out the walking foot for my machine. I think I started around 7:45, cutting pattern pieces, and was done with everything but buttons and buttonholes and velcro by 10:15. I need access to the child and the favorite stuffed moose before determining final placement, but this was a great, easy, quick pattern that I think will be much loved!
