Hi Everyone!

I've finally finished the pattern!

You can find the pattern and "rules" here:

I have only put the pattern here... I did not write out instructions in this case... but if you have any trouble just holler and we'll try to help!

OK...I just printed out the pattern...dunno if I will actually try is...I don't have any mohair..and it's been about 20 years since I made a sewn bear...actually I used wool coating & made a bear family...but I made my own patterns & sure wish I still had then...but ...see...I have sewn bears before

So anyhow...would it be ok to make this one out of fabric other than mohair???

I coppied the pattern, I will have to look and see if I have supplies for a bigger bear.

Charlotte of course you can use a different material!! That would be so neat to see.

Jodi.... even if you used N03 on this bear... and you "aged" him a little... he'd look like a well loved bear :)

OK...sorry...but here start the RDQs (Really Dumb Questions)...do I add seam allowances or are they included?

Sorry about that! I forgot that some patterns do not include it... but this pattern has SEAM ALLOWANCES INCLUDED! 1/8"

I've got your pattern and I'm rearing to go!
I have a piece of mohair that I haven't used yet.
I've been looking for a good project to use it with.

Thanks so much Laura Lynn!

Thanks Laura,

Will see if I can come up with something.

Hi Laura,

I've printed out the pattern. I'll have to see if I have any fabric big enough to complete. Most of my fabric is mini bear fabric.

Hugs,

Alrighty then . . . I've printed it out but I have to finish the bear I just started first. I'm glad you said we could sell one because, you, know, I have the Nevada City show coming up and anything I make between now and then oughta go on my table.

Amy LOL! I hear ya! I've been creating a few bunnies myself :)

Gijzette don't worry.... there's no time limit on this... I just thought it would be fun to do :)

Patty, not a problem! That's why I decided that everyone could sell the one bear if they choose to.... cause I know a LOT of us are getting ready for shows... or need to sell on thier websites. etc... and I really want to see all the different bears :)

As I mentioned... I have not had a chance to make one up myself yet....so I have no IDEA what he or she will look like.....hmmmm..... maybe I should have held off till I made one
