Okay, so I know I should know this by now. I've been making bears long enough and I think even Gina explained it to me at one point.

But I would like to know the measurements for buying material.
What are the measurements for a fat 1/4 or a regular 1/4 etc. I'm soo lost!


thank you very much!

Heather,
A fat quarter of mohair is 18" x 27".  I usually can get a 16" bear out of a fat quarter.  A regular quarter yard of mohair is 9" x 54".  Sometimes a body part will be too long to fit on a regular quarter yard. 
A fat 1/8 yard is 18" x 14".  Again the fat 1/8 yard gives you a little easier piece to lay out your pattern pieces.
Sounds like you will be buying some mohair?  Let me know if you need more help.
Donna
