for my sisters birthday last year I made her a teddy bear as she seemed to really like the ones I made for myself and my niece. I used the same pattern as the others but her fur was much fluffier.
I originally wanted to make her a bear in a golden color but the fabric store was sorely lacking in anything of that nature. which I think is sad as it is such an iconic teddy bear color especially if you are going for the old fashioned pooh bear look.
the fur I ended up getting though is extremely soft and plush, because if I couldn’t get the color I wanted I could get the best feeling fur out there. this pattern only takes a 1/4 yard of fabric so the fact it cost 3 times as much as the other furs didn’t matter much. and gray is a nice color too. I am not exactly fond of making these bears as fur is nasty to sew with it gets everywhere, clings with all its might to anything it touches and makes me sneeze, even though its faux fur and not real at all it still sheds like crazy. but they sure do turn out cute so I keep making them.
at some point we are all going to get together and have us a teddy bear tea picnic,and get some better pictures, but we have to wait till the weather cooperates with our scheduling and that can be very hard, very hard indeed.
