The Making of a teddy bear, part 5
Tonight he got stuffed! I made him a firm but cuddly teddy bear. Hunks of fluffy stuffing went inside first his head, then his body. Once that was stuffed to my satisfaction I stitched the opening shut. Then I did one arm and the next, making sure they were stuffed enough to make them equal. Then the legs. He looks all right. Not the greatest, because I feel this pattern needs some tweaks to it. Next one I will do a bit differently, making the pattern my own. I know I can change things a bit to make him more personable. All that is left is to do his nose and stitch him a mouth. I hope to get at those perhaps tomorrow. He’s coming along nicely and I am sure Brittny will just love her teddy bear. I was thinking about the clothing, but I am still not quite sure. Since her birthday is in May, I do have some time to reconsider. Am I glad I made a teddy bear? Oh, yes! I only hope the nose and mouth won’t give me any hassles.
