IMG_008222.jpgAnd it's a bought pattern, so I feel silly showing off this fella.
This is what a budget bear looks like  :redface:
Any tips on how to make him stand out a little more are welcomed. I'm giving him away for mothers day. It's on February 10th here in Norway.

I have to admit, he is my third bear, and he's alot smaller than the ones I made earlier.

I think he's fabulous!  You should be proud - especially since he's only your third bear!!!  You should have seen mine.  It looked like a warthog.  Your bear is wonderful!!!  If you want to make him stand out more, why not try adding a larger and more colorful bow?

You've done a great job. He's really a cute little guy and whether it's for your mother or someone else, I'm sure she will be very pleased with your thoughtfulness.

Miyu you've done a great job- he looks like a bear so you've achieved your first goal (mine looked like dogs with round heads until about the 10th).
I think you are well on your way to getting the results you wnat.
As for his decoration, I think he might suit a rusty old antique key on a leather necklace. He just seems to me to be one of those little scallywags that need a key to get in.
Good luck, I know your mother will love him....

Hi Miyu......he is a really sweet bear - well done! Don't despair - we all have to start somewhere, and it looks like you are going WELL
Just an idea, for the future bears - try using a contrast (fabric and colour) for the paw pads and inner ears - will give a bit more "definition" - and most of all - just ENJOY the whole process!!!

I think he's darling.  And if this is only your third bear then you are definitely on your way. bear_thumb

I was going to post HOW CUTE he was. He's got the enduring quality like he needs love. One of my first bears has that look to him, I gave him to my Mom and he sits on her antique sewing machine and just fits in. (Mine need his eyes re-sunk in - I didn't do a very good job back then!)
Keep it up. I like the material you used!

Great job!  He's very cute and I'm certain your mother will be thrilled with him.  The suggestions for making him stand out a little more are good ones, bigger bow, key, both would work well!  I tell you what though, I think the thought you've put into him for your mum makes him stand out loud and proud.
