This was a 'weave-along' on a group I belong to on Ravelry. That is, to weave some fabric and make some bear.



I have really enjoyed making him. And it's the first thing I've made from fabric I've woven, as opposed to just weaving scarves and throws.

Won't impose this one on a kid, I'm not sure how well he'd wear, but I can see me making more 

Just warped my loom to make some skirt fabric now........

Thats lovely and so personal for a nice present for some one....love the colour!!!! 

[jaykay]

Thank you 

I think this not-so-little guy is mine, as he is all wool, and stuffed with the felted-on-the-sheep wool from my Shetlands last summer.

I guess to do one for a child it might be better in synthetic bear-fur? Well, I could weave synthetic and stuff it with polyester I'm sure.

I'd just like to say - filling a bear's tummy with plastic pellets - oh good grief what a mess! I thought of using my milk funnel after I'd poured pellets on the table, the floor, the dogs.......

    I bet......that teddy looks like it would smell nice too..!!

That is just lovely, Jaykay. 


You could give up the day job and start your own business. They would make really special gifts.

Thank you

Oh, if only.
They'd cost thousands £££

He's lovely    Does he have a name?

[jaykay]

I think he can be called Bruin 

[Mammyshaz]

I love, love, love him. He would look fab amongst my teddies in their glass cabinet      

He is a boy to be proud of  you are so good at craft,  It is wonderful seeing the wide range of items you make, a surprise every time   

[jaykay]

Thank you  Yeh, the bear was a surprise to me too, but it was fun, it was a good idea of the woman who started it off 

[Lesley Silvester]

 

I want one.

[jaykay]

Ah well, you'll be able to make one 

[Bionic]

Jaykay he is just gorgeous    Did you have a pattern for the pieces?
 
I am going to my first weaving class on 19th Feb so who knows what will materialise after that

[jaykay]

Thank you 

Yes, I used a pattern. It was Baffin, from BearBasics, where I got his joints, eyes and the infamous plastic pellets from too.

Prepared to get hooked on weaving  How exciting

OMG OMG OMG - he is just GORGEOUS.  Well done ewe - WHAT an achievement
