Afternoon Sewing Project

THIS IS WHAT THE BEAR LOOKS LIKE BEFORE IT IS PUT TOGETHER!

I NOW HAVE THE EYES ON THE BEAR AND ARMS AND LEGS ARE ATTACHED!

FINISHED PROJECT WITH ALL THE STUFFING, SO CUTE!

I HAD A GOOD FRIEND MESSAGE ME THE OTHER DAY AND ASKED IF I COULD MAKE HER AN IOWA STATE TEDDY BEAR FOR CHRISTMAS. I SAID SURE, SO THAT IS WHAT I DONE WHEN I GOT HOME FROM MY OTHER JOB TODAY. THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN TO MAKE BECAUSE EACH ONE TURNS OUT DIFFERENT, THERE ARE NEVER TWO THAT LOOK JUST ALIKE. I WILL HAVE TO SAY THE HARDEST PART IS SEWING THE HEAD TO THE BODY, I ALWAYS ZIGZAG EACH PATTERN PIECE, THAT WAY THE FABRIC WON'T RAVEL, AND IT MAKES IT MUCH EASIER TO PUT TOGETHER. AFTER I GET ALL THE BODY PIECES SEWN TOGETHER, I PUT THE EYES ON THE BEAR, THEN I USE JOINTS TO PUT THE ARMS AND LEGS ON, THAT WAY THEY WILL MOVE, AND IT MAKES THEM EASIER TO SET UP. I THINK MY CUSTOMER WILL REALLY LIKE THE BEAR, IT TURNED OUT SO CUTE.
