MY BEARY FIRST BEAR
OK folks here we go, are you brave enough to show your real absolutely horrendous failures.
Has anyone got a worst bear than mine?. (poor we charles I do luv 'im dearly)
i BET THERE IS NO ONE OUT THERE THAT CAN BEAT CHARLES?
IS ANYONE GAME ENOUGH TO TRY??????????hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahh
hahahah 
:twisted: :twisted: hahahah
The pic's over exposed, my apologies for that.
Sophie Z'OursWell, look at this one!
His name is Oscar: the first bear I entirely designed!!!
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
BEAR ME SHOOTKAMatilda, he is.....can't find words in English... hehehe 
:hug: He is awesome!! I see his got a CHARACTER of his own. That's just great and isn't it what we trying to achieve in each bear we make?? :hug:
Sophie, I love him!!! You have to make more of those and called them Paris ANIME!!! hahaha 
:hug:
Julia
I will post mine later...when I make him... (no, just joking.. when I find the picture) :hug:
Sophie Z'OursJulia!!!! Are you kidding?? He has an horrible head! and look at his feet: look like old chinese women' ones!
his arms and legs are too slim: not any muscle there! In addition, the fabric was too fragil: this is boiled wool which is not dense enough for the weight of the bear...
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Matilda Huggington-beareNO Sophie, he is too good. Look at that lovely embroidered nose. My Charles is still the worst first bear I have come across. I cut holes in the fabric for his eyes. And then had to sew the holes up because they were to big hahahahahahhahahahhahahahha his legs are up under his armpitshahahahahahah must admit the feet on your Oscar are a tad on the small side, but my Charles is lucky he has feethahahahahah Matilda
BEAR ME SHOOTKANO SOPHIE!!! I'm serious!!! Take a nice fancy mohair and make another Oscar !!
Matilda, yes, your bear has feet!!! The cute ones!! 
Julia
Sophie Z'OursHum.... I will have first to check if I have kept the pattern... 
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Past Time BearsHA - my first will outdo both of yours!!
LuxembearsMy first ...I don't even have a photo..didn't want to break my camera!
Hmmn. Howsabout - 'Orange Blob Bear' ... he was from a kiddies pattern sold through a local toyshop.
Then there was 'Ivor' ... he was a kit.
I can't remember my very first design - I will hunt through my files!
Ah! Now I remember! The yellow guy - Pomeroy, he was about the third I designed ... the first couple went to my mum and my niece and unfortunately (!) I don't have any pics!
Posts: 8,574I don't know Matilda, I kind of like your little guy, his eyes are the same color as his spots and it gives him a whimsical slightly goofy look. I don't think you should be so hard on the poor guy......He's a sweet heart, and his eyes say he sees alot more than he lets on
And Sophie, Oscar looks anime and he also has a fun look to him.
Dont be so hard on yourselves ladies, these are fun, sweet and very loveable bears!
Oh Paula- Orange Blob Bear......He reminded me of being a Brownie....before being a Girl Scout.....maybe you have them in England too- put a little brownie uniform, on him and the little brwon beanie we used to wear and call him a girl......and maybe he could have an extra big pocket for that song we had to sing
I have something in my pocket
That belongs across my face
I keep it very close to me
In a most convient place
I'm sure you'll never guess it
If you guess a long long while,
so
I'll take it out and put it on
Its a great big brownie smile!
ok silly :redface:

Posts: 2,203I saw so many sweet bears! and yes Sunny can beat Charlie paws down! I am working on my first sewn bear as we speak.
Dolls N DreamsHahahaha,
Those all look great, wait till I post my first one, it a cheaper bear kit I bought last week.
Right now he is stuffed & sewn up, have not put in the eyes yet.
I think he turned out ok , except the fur that came with the kit
was kinda thin & sparse, and it was hard trying to hide all the seams.
I'm hoping it won't be as noticeable with better quality thicker fur? ....LOL
Flying Fur Studios
I've posted him before, but I kinda like my 1st one.
I will always keep him. He was from a kit.
Cleathero Creations
my daughter has my first one. I'll have to get a photo again.
Bad fur, poor sewing. Fur sitting wrong, fur trimmed wrong..... but when i offered to fix her up for my daughter she told me off!! Couldn't embroider a nose. Ears set wrong, arms in wrong spot. head not stuffed enough...wil I go on!!
Delartful BearsLOL oooh how far we have all come.. yes, I'm able to say that, why be dishonest about it. Having said that, none of the bears are as horrible as you all make out! LOL I will take a photo of my first bear and show you all 
Like Heather, I'm kinda proud of the big guy!
Danni
Rufnut Teddy'sgreat pics everyone. They are good
Matilda Huggington-bearehaahahahahahhha Silly Dilly your gorgeous!!!!!!!hahahah luv the song. I have to write it out to keep.
What a lovely turn out of funny wee bears. As Danni said'havent we come along way'.
My charles gets the most hugs out of every bear that I've made. His stuffing is breaking through the seams and arm fell off(they are plastic safety disks) so I sewed it back on. When my brothers teenage kids visit they want to know where he is so they can give him a cuddle.ahahahahah
And like all of your first bears with their wonky ears & crooked eyes arent they just the most cutest ones.
I knew not a thing about sewing when I made charles. I didnt even know enough to give him a back stitch hahahahahahahhahahhpoor wee baby. But not once have I been embarrassed by my ineptitude. I just didnt have the heart to hide him away. He's stuffed with toyfill so he's really soft.
Keep them coming I just love looking at these little wonders. Matilda :hug:
I just read back through the posts having another gander at the bears and...........one thing I have noticed, WE all have our first. Some of you may have hidden them (erin!) but they are still there. hahah
We all must be greadfully sentimental hahahahahah
Winneybears and FriendsMatilda..Thats is such a goofy guy..he has character...people love character bears .
The only thing I'd do is to suck in his hips with some strong double thread to make the legs hug tighter to his " broad hips" .
Love his cheeta dots...hey, why not give him a grass skirt, some big old bright wooden color beads with head hunter pendant.... then give him a wonderful feather type head dress ...sort of the head lemure guy in Madagascar...can't you all just see it ??? OH yes, and give him a totum spear to show whos boss....Winney
Flying Fur StudiosMatilda, it the 1st picture, what is that bear in the background? Did you make that? I would LOVE to see a picture!
Matilda Huggington-beareWinney your so funny. and sweet. Charles was my very first ever bear. There's just something about first ever bears, 'you dont fix 'im' hahahahah you just luv 'em and laugh at 'em hahahah
Heather the bear in the back ground is Leo. He is the needle felted bear I made in Judi's workshop. I posted him again just recently, I think in the needle felting section. I'll have a look.
Matilda Yep, he's in needle feltind titled 'look what I did" by me. OK possum.
Sophie Z'Ours
Ah, my dear friends, i would like you to have a look at my first and third bears.
I like very much Bonjour, my first one: i made it using a kit from a french artist (Laurence Veron) and added some features like mouth, paw pads feet pads, claws, clothes...
The third one is very .... hummm: well just see by yourlseves. I named him Ugly.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Cleathero CreationsActually if you pop a top hat on him, a jacket with tails, a fancy walking stick and a monocle I think you would have a pompous but lovely teddy bear.
Sophie Z'Ours
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Thanks for sharing your pics. Your first bears are nice. It's funny that artists are so critical of themselves sometimes when collectors and others love different stuff and love ones that the artists think they shouldn't.
