Hi Fran,
you won't get two 18in bears out of a 1/2 yard...maximum I've gotten out of a fat 1/4 metre was a 17in....and that was really a tight squeeze, also depends on thickness of body parts. You'll lose 3ins off the metre (39in)sized pieces when buying a yard (36in) Might have to cut those bears legs off...yikes..I mean shorten them ha!!!

Denise.
ps sorry Fran, can't help you with the lace question...did you try a google search??

Hi Fran

Why don't you lay out your 1 metre fabric and see if your 18 inch pattern will fit twice into the first 90cm of the fabric (as that is how much a yard is)

now - sorry about the long link below but here are the listings for guipure lace on ebay australia also try typing in guipuire as spelling varies

you may also find something here - but check if they ship to oz
