Bears 1 – The beginning

First Bear from a pattern

I was so pleased with this bear.  The material lay on my Dining Table for 2 weeks before I summoned the courage to cut it.  It is made from Schultz Mohair with joints in the arms, legs and head.

Bear Fur Material Marked Up

This is a later image for a set of 3 cream bears, but gives you the idea how it’s done.  The secret is very pointed scissors, cutting under the fur and through the material.

Golden Bear First Jointed

He won first prize at the WI show and I was chuffed to mintballs.
