Here is my latest creation.  He may be small at 2.5" tall but he has lots of love to give his new owner, hence the name Little Love.  He comes housed in his own heart-shaped trinket box.

Full details can be viewed at: http://www.sarianbears.com/page5.htm

I only make minis and all are done entirely by hand, which seems to take forever.  I've never even tried to use my sewing machine because the seam allowance is so small I'm not sure how much control I'd have or whether the stitches would be small enough.  Edie, I take my hat off to you doing a 1" bear on the machine  :clap:

For those of you who do use the machine for your minis, what size needle do you use?  The one I hand-sew with is about 2.5cm long and is so fine I have trouble sometimes telling which end is which. bear_noexpression :redface:    The thought of using my machine is very appealing and would save so much time - I must average about 6 hours just stitching all the pieces together!  bear_ermm  As I work full time too, I'm lucky if I can get one bear made in a week.

This thread has got me thinking....  :whistle:

Hugs,

Sarah

RabbitTT.jpgThis is my latest rabbit which was ordered by an ex-colleague of mine up in Scotland.  I'm still waiting for her to come back to me with a name, so at the moment she's just 'purple rabbit!'  bear_happy  She's about 4" tall, not including the ears.

This is only my 4th rabbit but I'm finding the ears much easier to wire with each one I do, though time-wise it doesn't get much quicker - not really sure how that works....  bear_noexpression  In fact the rabbits just take much longer to make, full stop.  The eyes on this one took me nearly two hours!  I totally lost track of all time only to realise how long I'd been sat concentrating cutting, glueing, stitching after my numb bum brought me back to reality!!!  bear_grin

Hugs,

Sarah

bear_original  bear_original As with all of our loved ones, it's the imperfections and the quirks that make someone special.  If we were all perfect we'd be boring and I think this teddy is full of character.  bear_original  bear_original   I'm sure he's making your poorly friend smile lots.  bear_thumb  bear_wub

Hugs,

Sarah

Even more lovely comments....  bear_original  bear_original   This little guy is going off to live in Singapore - lucky little fellow!  bear_original   Hot country for a hot little bear...  bear_happy  bear_happy

Sarah

Wonderful little guy!  bear_original  bear_original   The fur is beautiful and the facial expression is just lovley  bear_wub

Hugs,

Sarah

Thank you everyone for your lovely words.  I think Cayenne might have found a home already, but I'm awaiting confirmation.  bear_original  bear_original
