Has Anyone Made A Different Teddy Bear For Each Month Of The Year, Or For Each Holiday Of The Year? Would Love To See Them. Have Anyone Made A Calendar Of The Teddy Bear Pictures? I Was Thinking About Making Bears For Each Month And One For Each Country.
That sounds like a fantastic idea and what a wonderful project.
I did a "Holiday Bear" in 2008 depicting 7 holidays. I made a "tails" vest with 7 different snap on lapels and a top hat with 7 different exchangeable hat bands, and all the accessories to depict the specific holiday. It was a really fun project!
Hi Thelma. Your bear is beautiful and the embroidered nose is incredible.
Thank you Coraleen! The vest has 3 snaps sewn on each side and each lapel has 3 snaps = 42 snaps. I thought when he was finished that I never wanted to sew a snap again!!!
What a fantastic bear for all the holidays, I loved the New Year the best, he has the face for it, so aristicratic.
thanx for sharing
Hugs Pat
Wow, that is an awful lot of snaps! I don't think I've sewn that many in my life and I'm 56.
Thanks, Pat! The lady who adopted him loves to play with her bears, so I know all his costumes are used!
Well, believe it or not, Coraleen, I've sewn many more projects with lot's of snaps, even after I swore not too! Just a glutton for punishment, I guess :crackup:
Wow I love him and all the outfits. What a great job. I bet it was a lot of work but it looks like it was worth it. :clap:
What a great idea!! Love the bear and all the interchangeable outfits! Very very clever!
Bear hugs,
Kim
Thank you Bearlady and Kim. Although I made him 3 years ago, he is still one of my favorites!! You are all very kind!
