I purchased the "Sparkle Plenty & Morrie" pattern from the above URL to learn the ear design which Ms Holcomb uses (most visible on the white/black bear), but the pattern doesn't show how to make them!

I'd like to make ears where the primary fabric curves over the top, with the contrast interior appearing to be set slightly inward.

I'm a fairly new bear-maker, someone gave me Nancy Tillberg's "101 Bears to Make" a few weeks ago, and it's been very helpful, but I'm having a hard time figuring out the ear part.

Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and a big warm welcome to the forum!!   :hug:

The ears, to me, look more as if they're sewn on in a sort of 'cupped' shape, maybe trimmed a bit, then shaded.   

BUT if you take a look in the user list you'll see that Sue Ann Holcombe is a Help Advisor on this forum, and if you send her a private message I'm sure she will help.   bear_original

Good luck, please show us your bear when you've finished!!   :dance:  :dance:
