Hi all,

Would someone know where I could buy a antique looking bear pattern?

Also, which type of mohair would you recommend?

thanks,

paula

Gooseberry Hill have some lovely vintage bear patterns on their website.  gooseberryhill.com/Patterns/GBHOnline/b … rns_p1.htm

Hope this is what you are looking for.  Otherwise, Linda Mullins wrote a couple of 'Creating Heirloom Bears' books which are probably now out of print.

Regards

Sue

Assuming from who you said you were taking classes from that you're in Oz, have you tried Beary Cheap?  They have a huge range of both patterns and kits and are based in Oz http://www.bearycheap.com/index.html

If you haven't visited them already, Bear Essence here in Melbourne would be sure to have an antiquey looking bear pattern and be able to help you out with appropriate mohair too. They have samples of many of their pattern  bears for you to see in the fur as well.
