Bear-2.jpgBear-Dec-1.jpgHere are two pictures of bears that I have just completed. They my normal patterns with a few adjustments made to them. The two bears sitting together are made from Schulte mohair while the bear on its own, is made from Ko-hair, a nylon fabric.All 3 still need their noses waxed. The ko-hair bear is also floppy, filled with plastic pellets, a bounce back poly fiber filler and I did add a few small glass beads for weight. This bear is going to be for the little "sprog" when it arrives in July.

Thanks for all the lovely comments, Ko-hair I bought here in South Africa, but it is imported from overseas,I would think perhaps Australia.
If you do get it, I suggest sewing this way,
Trace out your pattern, then use fray check along all the cutting lines, then cut out.( I took all the cut out pieces outside and gave them a good shake as well as the left over fabric- the fluff goes everywhere .) Also use fray check on all the joint positions and eye positions.
Over cast all the seams by hand. Then sew with a machine or by hand whichever method you prefer stictching your bear together.
The material is slippery so the fray check and overcast seams will hold it together.
I used wooden disks, nuts and bolts for the joints, but beware of over costing a Ko-hair bear, as it will take the same time to make this kind of bear as a mohair bear, but you will not be able to get the same price as a mohair bear, so make it for yourself, a friend, or an accessory for a mohair teddy where you can then justify the price
