This Order is for Donna (8 custom teddies):
Please click here to see the teddies that I have completed so far for this order
I have 3 more teddies on my work table for Order #20. They will all be my standard teddy pattern.
The pattern pieces were cut out.
Then I had to cut the seam allowance around every pattern piece.
I try to do as much machine sewing as I can to keep my fingers from hurting ... usually that's most of the body, and the limbs. I ALWAYS sew the head by hand and all of the smaller pieces.
UPDATE 10-28-2020
I will be completing one teddy at a time
Here is the first one:
sewing almost finished ...
My Pandemic Pumpkin for Halloween ...
a local Real Estate Agent dropped off pumpkins to every house in the neighborhood, so I had to do something with it.
Here is the headless teddy ...
Update: Nov 1
And here is the head ...
next it my favorite part: giving the teddy a face with lots of personality.
Update: Nov 6
I LOVE this little face!
Just need to finish stuffing and attach the ears ... then its on to the next teddy.
Update: Nov 8
This is the first of three teddies for Donna.
When I finish these three I will check the remaining pelt to see if there is enough left for one more teddy.
Now I will start the second teddy. It is partially completed. I need to do the hand sewing, jointing, stuffing next.

Teddy #2
body ready for the head (which needs to be constructed)
Update: Nov 20
I LOVE this little face too!!!
These teddies decide for THEMSELVES what their personalities are to be. I do all the same steps that I always do, and have done for the past 30 years, yet it is ALWAYS a wonderful surprise to see what they actually look like. This one is adorable with a lovely youthful face.
Here it is attached to the body.
Now I just have to add the ears.
