Bear Stays Up for Christmas was a fun pocket to make. The sketch on the pocket was a handmade drawing of the bear on the cover of the book. I had just taken a class in thread caligraphy and found the fun of using my satin stitch feature on a 45 degree angle. The open eye is a shiny black button. The pocket is a soft, fluffy cotton flannel to mimic the snowy landscape. When Lucy is looking for her bear book, it appears the bear is waking up just
enough to greet her.
