Jenny , I love this bear. That sweater is perect for her.  Do you make bears in mohair  too?  I really would like to adopt one.

Judi..I make bears in mohair, alpaca and synthetic fabric..I like working with synthetics the best...though I feel like I am commiting blasphemy for admiting it...I don't much like mohair unless it's straight and very, very  dense!! ( A bit like me, really)

lol, Jenny you make me laugh!  I love synthetic too, tho have really stuck to mohair lately coz of the popularity of it...and its a little easier to work with too    Some of my favourite bears are in synthetic and I personally think that you can't beat the softness of it    I actually bough a whole 3 1/2 meters of synthetic the other day...for $15 a half meter!  Can't do that with mohair!  And the colours and textures are to die for!!

Jenny,  I love the look of your bears!... I had no idea they were faux furs!!!!  Would you be willing to share the name of your supplier or the fabrics' manufacturers?  I'd love to give some a try...

Annabelle is an absolute angel... all I can say is, "WOW!"

hugs,  LuLu

Hi Lulu.....Annabella is actually made from alpaca...but I get most of my synthetics from Edinburgh Imports...it's as expensive ...if not more expensive ,though, than mohair. If you get some that's not from there make sure it's a woven backed on....or you'd have to line it first..( I use that fusible cotton ..it just irons on) otherwise it will stretch when you stuff it.

I just got some nice short piles from Dear Bears...Schulte make some nice ones..they have links to their distributors on their website...and try Prefurs.com..they do French ones...

Best of luck...
