Whoo hoo I'm so excited!  I finally made my FIRST sewn bear!!  With the help of Berta's pattern/kit I ventured out into the world of sewn bears.  I'm very happy with how little Flutter came out and hope to make more.  I think I might work on a larger size (maybe 6-8 inches) while I'm learning though, because I had some trouble turning the parts.  Flutter is only 3 inches tall !

I'm looking for patterns in the 4-9 inch range...so if anyone can make some recommendations for a beginner to sewn bears, please let me know.  I have made crochet bears for 3.5 years so I'm familar with the logisitics of making bears, just not the specifics of working on sewn ones...but I want to LEARN !

(deep breath)...ok...here she is...allow me to introduce you to Flutter:

Fantastic job Mary!!

You have done so well!  That fabric is not the easiest fabric to work with either and I can't believe it's your first bear.

There's quite a number of small sized patterns at intercal in that 4 - 6 inch range - lots of different styles of bear too, so there's bound to be something that you like.

Keep up the good work!

Ooooh, so adorable!  I love the winsome little expression on her face!!  Stunning for your very first sewn bear!  Mine looked like nothing so much as the cat dragged in!  I can't wait to see more!
