When my husband was in High School, he had this wonderful orange and brown polyester shirt that he just loved. Of course, as time went on, he outgrew the shirt and handed it to his (older, but smaller) brother, Ron. Ron used the shirt for many years (we graduated HS in '71). The last time Ron visited us, he wore the shirt and left it in the closet. I found it just before Christmas, washed it, cut it out, lined it, added some brown material and made the bear for Ron's Christmas gift. ( his wife says it will be brought back and left here) oh yeah, the eyes are green and purple, David's favorite color combination when in HS!
Just thought I would share the Ugliest Christmas Bear with you. Oh, the hat Ron is wearing?!?!?!... has a battery and switch so the hat can dance......................and you thought I was goofy?????????

Looks by the picture you have given Ron the perfect gift. I dare his wife to try to "forget" that bear at your house. A great way to remember that lovely, (well you know), shirt

You were beary brave to cut up that priceless shirt.... oh well, you made a priceless teddy bear. I love the pic! :clap: Vicki
I think it's just great, I think the shirt should have been cut up long ago. But what a great little memory bear, I mean just think whenever he looks at that bear he will remember that shirt and the fun he had wearing it. Great idea.
