Baby Teddy Bear Sweater
Teddy Bears are one of those beloved animals you always see hugging, embodying warmth and affection. I aim to capture that same tenderness in this delightful baby sweater, perfect for your little one. Babies, without a doubt, reflect that pure tenderness, making this sweater an ideal gift for any baby occasion. Additionally, I wanted to have fun with textures by designing the Teddy Bear to have a cozy sweater right inside the sweater itself, adding a whimsical touch to this charming piece.
