With a few new babies in the family and friends with babies on the way, I decided to make the time for a bit of Softie sewing in the middle of a busy week and lots of renovations.

I love this simple bear softie pattern I drew up a while ago - not too many limbs to sew in and rather quick and easy to make.

Softies are a lot like freshly baked goods around these parts - as soon as they're "out of the oven", they're gone!
