Hello everyone, let me show you my 4th teddy bear - Oliver (Olly). He is 6.7 in, made from Schulte mohair, with hand-painted glass eyes. His nose is embroidered and waxed.

Thank you very much for your replies  Yes, it's my 3rd bear. It took almost 2.5 months to complete it (I can spend 1-2 hours a day 2-3 days a week only). Next one will be much more simple for I feel I need to make a rest. Welcome to my blog 

Thank you Becky 

The bear is 22 cm tall (8.7 in), 6 cm sitting (6.3 in), made from Helmbold mohair, having 10 joints (1 additional in the neck, and 4 additional joints in the limbs). Nose and claws are made from polimer clay.

What a cute bear! I like the way he's painted like he was well loved for a long time 

She is so cute!  I really like her.

Hi Jessi,
I agree with Jane. I do the following things to avoid the buckling
- make sure the paw pad size matches the leg size. For me it's better to have the paw pad a little smaller than larger. I use wire to measure the length
- draw the seam allowance line both on the paw pad and the bottom of the leg - that helps to join these parts properly. I use my disappearing ink marker for that
- use a lot of small pins to keep the paw pad in place when sewing
- make very small hand stitches, and for every stitch I look where the needle goes out to be sure the seam is even
