Rilo is made of a dark grey hand dyed
miniature bear fabric.
He's wearing a little jacket that I made for him in fall colors, just in time for the harvest!

1347942820_img_3061aacc.jpg


Rilo's jacket is made of different colors of miniature bear fabric. The front is made with one side a reddish brown and the other side with a burnt orange color. The trim on the wrists and the hood are gold and the back is a lovely green.

Rilo's jacket has been sewn onto him, so it is not removable.

Hi!
I'm wondering how to make the text in my subject line red. I've noticed the red [SOLD] in the subject line of bear picture posts, and I'd like to be able to do that also.

Thank you for any help!   bear_flower

Tilly is made of an off white long pile fabric that  has lovely apricot colored tips on the "fur".
This adds the perfect feminine touch to a
sweet little girl!

She is designed and hand sewn by me. Her pawpads and inner ears are a complimentary color miniature bear fabric and she has lovely black glass eyes. Her nose, mouth and eyebrows are hand sewn with the perfect color embroidery floss.

Tilly's face and muzzle were scissor and needle sculpted to enhance her adorable features. She has a soft silk ribbon tied around her head with the ends hanging sweetly around her face.

I had to immediately string them onto nylon upholstery thread, in the order in which they'd be sewn and then assembled, and then be restrung and placed individually into snack-sized baggies or I'd end up losing the WORST part to have to replace - ears... or some other part. This was learned only after years of sewing 3 legs or arms or an extra head for almost every bear made. Minis just evaporate!

Bobbie, you are sooo right! I immediately put each cut bear in it's own plastic container. I love having them in the containers because I can stack them up and see each of the bears in them. I need to have my bears-in-progress on my table right where I can see them so I don't start a new one without finishing the one's I've already cut. I also find I'm more productive with less guilt if I just get rid of the one's I don't care for and will probably never finish. That way I feel good about working on the one's I really like without the "I should finish this other one first" feeling.

I usually have 2 cut, sewn and turned at the same time, but then it's one at a time after that. I get confused on each one's "personality" if I try to put together more than one at a time. I try very hard not to cut and sew more than 2 at one time, because that's my favorite part! Once I make a sketch and pick the colors, I almost feel like making the bear is an afterthought (although I love seeing the finished bear!). It's the feel of the fabrics and the colors that inspire me. Decorating the finished bear is also very satisfying, even if it's just a ribbon around the neck.

I tried making 3 at once, but then it got really confusing! Also, I agree with Sue of Fenbeary Folk that I'd rather get one out at a time more frequently than several at once with long breaks in between.
