teddy

Hiya everybody
Over the past couple of days, i've been making this...
I was bored on saturday night, and for some strange reason i decided i wanted to make a teddy. And when i think of something i'm not happy till its done! So i went searching for some material, and found an old brown towel that was about to be cut up for rags, found a free template on the internet, and got cutting, sewing and getting VERY frustrated. He is made with the towel, stuffed with the towel, and then a few bits of felt for paw pads. The eyes are buttons, and i got annoyed trying to stitch a nose, so drew it on with a pemanent marker!

He looks a bit odd but i like him :)

Thanks for looking
Rachel xx

Rachel, he is wonderful! All bears are different - thats what gives them their personalities. My Gran used to make me a bear each year. When I was about six they were very 'special' if you get my drift! By the time I was your age they were almost like shop bought bears! Yours is lovely!

He's cute and looks very soft and snuggly! The eyes are like chocolate buttons. He needs a name now!

He doesn't look odd Rachel - he's just unique! I think he looks lovely - the perfect teddy for snuggling up to.

Well done for improvising.
