Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

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.

Thanks 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

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

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.

I 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
