Thanks everyone!

The bear is made in Sassy's medium pile upholstery velvet in color dusty rose and it does have a nice sparkle. The paws are in ultrasuede light color dried rose.

The dog is real, he's my miniature schnauzer puppy named Cosinus. Here is a picture of him when he was younger. He's 6 months old now.

1stmini2.jpg1stmini.jpgThanks everyone. I just finished the little traditional miniature bear. He's my first mini and only my second bear in total, so he's far from perfect with his uneven ears bear_grin

Hi!

I'm still working on my first miniature, a traditional bear, but think I will try a Sassy pattern instead. The traditional bear's limbs are so small and skinny, whereas Sassy's bear is a little fatter and probably a little easier to work with.

Anyway, my question is about sewing in hand. Do you just sew one time or several times? I use back stitches. How big do you make the stitches?

Thanks bear_original

Thanks everyone. The dog is my 5 month old puppy, Cosinus. He's a miniature schnauzer and so much fun. He's very interested in my teddy bears and dolls and already got a hold of one of the cheaper dolls, so now I'm more careful. But I bet he had lot of fun.

Jack2.jpgjack.jpgI just finished my first bear. He's a kit I bought at Christie's in UK. He turned out okay. I did learn a few lessons, but that's also what practise is for.

I started out putting the leg on wrong, so the foot was turning backwards :rolleyes:

Then I didn't fill the nose firmly enough, so it was really difficult to embroider the nose :/

Then I couldn't get the ears attached as well as I liked, but I'm sure I will learn all the little difficulties with time.

I took some pictures of him, one with a doll holding him. I collect Himstedt dolls and sew outfits for them. I made the dress the doll, that is holding him, is wearing.

Now I have started on a traditional miniature bear, also a pattern from Christie's, but with Sassy fur. That stuff is awesome bear_original
