Sophie Z'Ours
I will have to make "safety" bears for my new little cousin.
I had a try for a non-jointed bear from a pattern designed by Laurence Véron, a French bear artist.
This is my first unjointed bear ever. I have used light brown cotton plush from BearCountry uk, some dark brown mixed wool for the foot pads, some brown perle cotton for the nose and mouth, and some dark thick cotton thread for the eyes. I filled him with polyester fibers.
I think that I will design some bunny patterns for the ones I will make for my little cousin; so she will have more pieces to chew!!! (arms, legs and long ears :P).
I am very happy with the nose. I made a mixed wool nose template, partly sewed it, filled it a bit with polyester fibers, finished to sew it and then embroided over it with perle cotton.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
