Hi, I'm an Aussie Bear Maker and have been asked to make a bear for an upcoming Exhibition. I've had a gorgeous piece of cream German (Shulte) Mohair which I've had for many years. I bought it as a remnant as it only measures 19" x 14" (49cm x 35cm). All of my bear patterns are for sizes 12" and up so not near enough fabric. Would anyone know what size bear I could expect to get from my piece ( I was thinking maybe a 10" but that still may be too big) I did find a pattern on the internet for an 8" bear but there was a lot of wastage. I would like to get the largest possible bear that the fabric will allow. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated & any suggestions for a pattern for a nice jointed bear. I have a large assortment of discs & eyes etc.
