new-ted.jpgThis is my first from a new design.  Although he reminds me a bit of Winnie the Pooh, this wasnt what I intended.  My "inspiration" was Chiltern's hugmee bears of the 1950's to 1960's (my favourites).

A friend has now asked me to make her a cat--a life size one, if you please!!!  I know nothing about designing cats--does anyone know where I can get a suitable pattern?

Your little bear is wonderful! Pooh is an adorable bear, and this little one has some characteristics of Pooh. I think it is the chubby little body and sweet little face you have created! Great job! I am sorry I can't help out with the kitty  cat pattern. bear_cry

Many Hugs Louise

Helen,
Check out Lisa Pay's cat patterns.  I know of two that she has that look pretty good.  The one lying down (I think it is Sassy) should be life size or close to it.  I sell her patterns here in the US so if you don't find them locally, I can get one to you.

Donna------Sassy is just what I am looking for, although I'll use a different fur.  I have just managed to order a pattern!!  Many thanks for the advice.
