Just finished my first bear! I used the Goldie pattern, (although I'm not too sure how accurate he came out, I had to trace the pattern from my computer screen because I don't have a printer) and he is made with two pairs of old jeans and scrap fabric for stuffing. He was an impulse project, so his joints are done with buttons, and are a little fragile. Generally pleased with him though, and I might even invest in some proper materials next time! 
 
He's lovely.
His nose is beautifully embroidered.  My first attempts were a little messy  
Congrats! it's a really charming bear!

Thanks! He's far from perfect but the buttons do give him a certain charm.  
He's lovely.
His nose is beautifully embroidered. My first attempts were a little messy :lol:
Thanks! The fabric around his nose is a little wrinkled where I pulled the thread too much but I'm generally very pleased.  
He's really cute!  I really love the the denim fabric  
I find embroidering noses really hard and still can't get them as good and neat as your bear so was thinking about trying to do a leather nose.
Lovely first bear  
 and a great idea for denim and buttons (of which I have so much sitting around I hate being wasteful

When one has literally no spare cash, one has to get creative! More stash fabric/old clothing bears will likely follow!
There's nothing wrong with being resourceful if you have no cash!  I can never come up with ideas like that, I just sit and drool at the supplies I want until my credit card kinda agrees to oblige!  
   I don't often make fabric bears, but you are inspiring me to take a look through my other half's wardrobe!  Just kidding!  In all seriousness, I think it's a great idea, and I genuinely do love the denim
