very washable mrsd. i have made many using baby flannel. they get cuddled and spit up on and then tossed in the washer.

most of the fabrics are cotton. the orangey fabric on the purple one is a satin.

in the first picture 2 of the christmas bear have silk fabric from japan. it's fabric my dad got back in the 50's. (it's red and gold btw..not orange like it shows.) those can't be washed, just spot cleaned.

i always include a note on those type.

i'll have to look at the fabric store on what would be considered hypoallergenic. i guess certain dyes would cause this.

i also make bears that people give me clothes or or other special fabric to incorporate into the bears. i made one for grandmonkey that used the shirt he wore in his kindergarden picture.

They are great Curious - love them all!!
Thanks for sharing this pic with us ... I look forward to seeing the finished result!! You have talent!

Darling bears! Want me to send you some buttons so they can see?

Those are awesome, will you sell them for Christmas? My shortcake is a stuffed animal fiend and I think he would love one.

that is my plan.

i'm finishing up 2 nascar ones as i type. hard to stuff and type, but i'm getting good at it.

Too cute! I love them just as they are, so I can't wait to see what they look like with clothes on.

Good job!
