This is a photo of my bears made from linen. I must admit when I see such wonderful creations made from mohair by so many talented artists, I do wonder if I'am having a funny turn, making mine from this fabric.
I find linen such an easy fabric to work with, it shows the lines of the design very well.
'Amelia' is extensively 'repaired' she wears a lace shawl.
'Berite' wears his best velvet suit which has a lace collar. Both bears are filled with pellets for a nice weighted feel, and fibre for a 'saggy' look.
Making clothes for bears is quite a challenge, but great fun.
I do hope you like them and would welcome comments good or bad!

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I don't see a picture...
Here are "Amelia and Bertie" fingers crossed photos work!
They were worth the wait, Elaine. They look totally charming:)

Hi Elaine
I like your style of bear very much and the linen always looks good with the traditional style
