Tatty Bears

Sooo cute, good luck, love him.

Tatty Bears

Well good on you, He looks like he is going to be lovely.
What is his nose made of?
I am also on my second bear but I cannot "bear" to part with him, he is turning out to be a real character.
Is he going to a friend of family member so at least you get to visit him?

Tatty Bears

Beautiful, I love the old scruffy well loved looking bears the ones that look like they could have been found in grandma's attic.

Tatty Bears

He is gorgeous, I looooooove his hat, where did you get such a pattern?

Tatty Bears

Yes, I'm using a piece of foam. The needlles actually bent first but I had to continue using them because I haven't got any spares.

Hi All,
         bear_flower Has anyone ever used flat felt squares to needle felt? I mean cutting out shapes on the flat squares and needle felting them into other felt squares???

I am trying this at the moment although it does work I have broken two needles which leads me to another question  bear_ermm : How long do your needles last?  bear_original

Tatty Bears

He is great, how much felt did it take to make?

Hi All,
        Quick question: How do you do the little white shine spot on a nose? I want to put in on a embroidered nose that has been sealed with glue.

Tatty Bears

That's great, I am thinking of having a go at that too,
Was it hard? What did you get in your kit?

Tatty Bears

Lucky you, I love Clarence.

Tatty Bears

Just a little joke for you that I got in my Xmas cracker:

What's furry and minty?
A polo bear.

Sorry, just thought it was appropriate.

Tatty Bears

Now that's what I call a Christmas tree.

Tatty Bears

Just wishing a VERY BEARY CHRISTMAS to all my new friends.
May you all have the best of luck for the new year and hope you all create the most fabulous bears, mice, hedgehogs, dogs, cats............ I look forward to seeing them.

Hi All,
        I am on my second bear and was having sooooo much trouble embroidering the nose. bear_sad
The first bear I made I tried a template but the thread just kept slipping off so I ended up doing it without one then I tried the same thing on the next bear but couldn't get it right and ended up taking it out three times ( my first bear must have been a fluke ).

The felt I was trying to use was very thick but I had some white felt I got to do eye whites but it is to thin for the whites so I figured I would try it for the nose and it turn out really good, using the white felt as a template with the black thread made it so much easier to see where I had and hadn't been.
I covered the nose in vertical stitches not pulling to tight so they didn't slip then did three horizontal stitches to secure them then went over the whole thing with more vertical stitches and it worked out, AMAZING,  :dance: I still can't believe it and it only took me half a hour to do ( I have previously been working on this nose for 3 days )

Now I am paranoid it is going to come undone or fall out so I am thinking about putting glue over the top. Is that what I am suppose to do to keep it perfect??????

I am so pleased with myself, I am home alone and I just had to let someone know. :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Tatty Bears

I can imagine how frustrating that can be and although I feel for you it is nice to know I am not the only one having problems. I have spent a couple of days now trying to embroider a nose,  I have taken it out 3 times so far.
You are on your second bear like me, right?
Just remember it is all practice for us beginners and just think of how amazing our bears of the future are going to be, so keep plunging on.
You have made me feel a lot better knowing we all stuff up and I am sure even the pros get it wrong sometimes.

Tatty Bears

I love his face, he is so cute.

Tatty Bears

Awwwwwwwww, she is so sweet, she looks like a cross between a real baby and a kitten, very cute!!!!!
