bear_flower Hi everyone, I have signed up for the class. I was lucky enough to have a small piece of alpaca left over.I have managed to get two bears out. One is going to be for my mum for her bag and one I am going to keep the other one, lucky me. Nancy is just so talented and I love her books. I am going to do more courses in the new year. bear_wub

bear_flower  Hi everyone. I need help please  bear_flower  I need to enlarge a pattern do I take the seam allowance off then add it after it is enlarged? Or do I double the seam allowance once it is enlarged, or do I use a normal seam allowance. This is probably as clear as mud  :doh:

bear_wub Hi everyone. I was just woundering how long you had been bear making before you started selling your bears. I have been making bears for about a year. Entered a few competitions and been lucky enough to place. I joined my local teddy bear club we are havin a stall and they want me to make a couple of bears to sell. I dont know if I am good enough or should I just give it a go. bear_flower   bear_wub

bear_wub  Thankyou so much for all your advice and links. The kit has arrived  :clap:  I have looked through it and got the needlefelting book from the library. It just dosnt seem possible  :doh:  Kids are at school today so going to sit down and have a go. I was lucky enough to go to our local bear show and met Barbara Allen in person. She is such a loverly lady and very talented. Will post pics when I have finished if he actually turns out ok  bear_thumb

bear_wub I make and design my own clothes for my bears. I brought a book called Custom Dressing Dolls by Helen Hansen. It shows you what measurements to take and how to use these to make your own clothes. Its shows you how to make everything right down to shoes and accessories. It even tells you how to work from a photo. I am a beginner sewer but have had great success with this book. Will post some pictures soon. Hope this helps.
