Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

:clap: Thank you to all who replied...i found a wealth  of knowledge in your responses..now to the hard part...choosing!!!

I am sorry if i offended anyone with my last message...i am new to this!!
I am looking for a pattern or kit for a panda! I want one with sad eyes...like the one in showcase by White Forest!!
I have looked at so many patterns and i dont know what is good or not so good so i opened up to the clan of bear lovers etc.
No one answered my blog so i am posting it again...
Please answer i just want to get it right and try my hand at different stuff until i find what i am happiest doing!!!
The bear i would like to make would be 15"-20" approx. with airbrushed eyes and muzzle and made with real fur...maybe.
Thanks to all  :hug:

Hi! I just looked at airbrushing in more detail and i think i will leave that alone for now but still interested in the panda choice!!!

Hello people!!
Can anyone help with a Panda pattern...one with really sad eyes and made with longish fur???
I am looking at about 15" or more and maybe air brushing around the eyes! Open to all input as I am only new at this bear making but would love to add to my pattern list!
Thanks to all..love this site

hi! Denise...I really dont know, I was thinking about 12-15" Just a nice easy one to start with but would need all inclusive with fur etc.. as i will be starting from scratch...but i am willing...maybe you have some suggestions??
I do like the old fashioned look with short fur and hump!!!and maybe jointed...but am i getting too adventurous???Do you sew by hand or machine???Sorry does that sound dumb??
hope to hear from you soon    :hug:

Thanks to all who wrote but I am after small bears around 12" and especially hats...I like the vintage look!!!
Does anyone know where I can get patterns?
