Faux Cashmere can be bought from Bear Suppliers (like Bear Basics and Christie Bears). It is very short pile fur with a material like backing. It is very easy to sew. Pull the stitches tight to make them almost invisible.
First Plush Bear
I bought the pattern for the panda, but it took me ages to find the plush fabrix, which I now know is Faux Cashmere. He has ‘shot’ in his belly to make him heavy. Again not suitable for children.
Like the Pandas we love he is a twin.
He also won a first prize in the WI show.
Plush Cream Bears
I found that due to them having large feet these bears are able to stand. They are made from combinations of cream and white Faux Cashmere.
Small Bear Groups
These look super cute arranged around a small teacup and saucer. The large bear gives an idea of scale.
Hamish McHoneymoon Bear 2012
As you can tell from his name I made Hamish on my Honeymoon, sailing from Largs in Scotland to Northern Ireland. He is made of cream suede with salmon pink paws and is wearing a little tartan sash.
Winter 2013 and Summer 2014
These plus bears are made from combinations of several different colours of Faux Cashmere. Mixing up the colours gives different results. No two are ever the same.
