Don’t Cry…I’m Here Adds Buddy Bears For Young Boys From Ukraine
Let me introduce you to our new 26″ Ukrainian Buddy Bears. They are adorable as can be.
These Ukrainian Buddy Bear outfits were designed and sewn by Ann Kasper. Anna did the most amazing job on these. She designed these outfits using our previous pattern pieces, tweaked them to become an Ukrainian Traditional outfit….but she does not have a Buddy Bear to see how it fit.
Look how great they fit….just use our basic patterns….and your imagination and you can come up with the most amazing outfits.
