I'm sure it won't be long before she finds her new home. She's a little cutie. :love:
thanks a lot, I sure hope so - glad you like her.
I NEVER draw a seam allowance on my designs. That way, when I increase or decrease the size of the pattern on my photocopier, I don't need to worry about the seam allowance being increased or decreased at the same time.
Its the original pattern, its not scaled up or down 
Here is Miss Bella, she is a pink cutie on 8,5 inch standing.
Bella is looking for a new loving home.

Oh yes, sure they are the cutest thing - I like the duckling best
When you draw your leg patterns is the seam allowance included? I always draw mine with it included so when I measure up for the footpad I remove a little bit for the seam allowance (make sure you include both seam allowances if you have a two piece leg or just one for a 1 piece leg). This may be why your footpads are a touch bigger then you need.
Oh yes, I draw it with seam allowance included - so now I know how it gets a bit roomy, thank you. 
I seem to do it the opposite to everyone else:) I draw the footpad first, then measure the foot/leg from there:) I find it easier to get the look I want that way.
it's really a different way to do it, but if it works for you then its perfect. 
So very cute, nice to see a fellow Dane here
Oh Becky, I think I understand that, I'll make them a little smaller I think thanks ...
thanks Mo Beary, but when I just double the length of the bottom of the foot, its really big enough, often to big I think
a math problem?
When I draw a pattern of a bear leg, is the sole of the foot so measuring less than the bottom of the leg goal x2 ?
I hope you understand what I mean 
Yes Becky, I have seen a few on Bearpile, so lovely - I coud not belive they vere crocheted.
One is here, it looks sewn to me - I think I can see seams on the head and on the feet, but the
text say chrochet, strange....

hi.
I have seen the most wonderful crocheted bear, I thougt is was made from mohair - but no, chrocheted ????
Anyone who know how this is possible ?

Lisa, I use the backstitch as well when sewing in mini bear foot pads. I start at the seam on the center of the foot at the toe so don't bother tacking there as my first stitch will hold it in place there and then instead of tacking at the opposite end (seam of leg at heel) I hold it in place with a little alligator clip. Faster than doing the tacking stitches and has always worked great for me! On bigger bears I do the same thing but also put alligator clips at the center of each side of the foot pad as well.
I don't have space for a aligator clip, its very small bears on 4-5 inch
I sew two sides at once! Thread two needles, start at the 'toe' and alternate stitches (one left side, 1 right side).
that is a very good ide, I think that it migth help me, thanks
hi.
thanks for the answers, I use stab backstitch, but don't secure the footpad before I start - will try that
when I'm sewing a tiny bear by hand, I sometimes have the problem that the footpad is kind of turning to the right on boths feet,
I don't want that, they had to be straight up/down, how can I change it ? I use backstitch.
Oh, they are great all of them, the first bear and the elephant is my fav. , good luck with the show.
Wonderful bears you make.
I would like to try my hands on a crochet bear, do you make your own pattern ?
Are the bear thread jointed or cotterpin ?
I looked for a pattern but no one make bear patterns like the style of your cute bears 
Oh, how cute he is - wonderful work you have done on him, I don't think I could let him go
thanks a lot girls, glad you like him and his color
