Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

I am not an expert by any means but I think if you trim the seams before sewing and make sure you push the fur in when pinning and overcast stiching it should be fine.  Just take your time.

I think ultra suede is better quality than faux suede but not entirely sure.  I find it very easy to work with.

I have never used paints.  I use Copic markers.  You can either use them with an airbrush or you can just directly apply them.  You can also dilute the colour with a colourless blender.

I use ultra suede all the time as I prefer the look.  I think it is up to you what you want to use, there is no hard and fast rule.

Monica Spicer has a lot of patterns where she has split the gusset.  I believe it is usually between the ears, so about top middle.

I made one from a Barbara Ann pattern - she also lists pdf patterns on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/BarbaraAnnBears. 

Another similar kind of pattern is a Bing Bear - see the link https://www.teddy-talk.com/viewtopic.php?id=46790.

Gail, yes I think that is what I will need to do.

Jane, unfortunately no, the fur I chose was amongst my stash so I don't know the code.

Cream coloured mohair used.

Only one, I swear I had marked out two 

I cut out the pattern and I have no idea what happened to the fur but I now do not have enough for one part of my rabbit's ear.  The inner ear will be wool felt with embroidery but I don't have enough to match the outer ear.  Further problem is I cant get the fur any more that I have cut the rabbit out of.  Does anyone have any suggestions so I don't have to start all over again and waste the fur I have already cut out?  I have tried to look for something similar but as I can only order online I cant really be sure that the colour would be similar.  So any suggestions as to how I can get out of this one?

He's a cutie, I love pictures like this that show our friends in real life situations.  Such pretty flowers too!

Such a cutie pie, another great job Jenny

So cute 

Yes I do like her!  She looks very soft and sweet 

Great job, well done.

He is just so cute 

Awww, she doesn't look wicked, maybe just misunderstood 

What a sweet, pretty little girl.  Beautiful job!! 

What a lovely fellow - Fantastic work 

You are so clever, I think she would make a perfect companion for Flower (remember Bambi!!) 

So realistic - fantastic job.     

Aww Eric and Penny made me smile - I really love those two    Great job 

Perhaps you could put him in one of those laundry bags that you wash delicates in and use a very gentle washing cycle with some soap flakes i.e. Softly?  That might help to sanitise and clean him up.  Also I agree with Michelle, after cleaning perhaps you could put an outer suit of clothing or a knitted jumper to make sure he does not get even more worn.

Very cute, nice job!!
