Bears 5 –Two Tone Bear Twins

I was asked to make a bear for a friends Niece who is expecting. 

I thought I might as well make two at the same time and finally use up the fabric.

I really love this fabric as when the noses are trimmed the underneath colour is a lovely contrast.  I use the same fur turned inside out for the paws and pads, which means it matches perfectly.

Katie’s bear required a Pink Bow, which when tied just did not look right, so I made a Bow Tie out of two types of ribbon with a press-stud fastener.  Bows have to be secured with a few stitches for small children.

You have to be very careful making bears for children.  Jointed bears need to remain on a shelf until the child is at least 3.  These bears have safety eyes and plastic safety joints.
