      I love this wee bear too, I have been looking at your lovely bears as I want to do another one of Pat's bears and you make such lovely ones.
      Oh and I am the opposite I do all the boring body sewing up first and save the exciting head till last.lol

      Helen this is the sweetest bear!! What a lovely colour and his ribbon is delightful. Now so many people tell me they don't like the sewing up and assembly part of a project, I just don't understand, it's my favourite part! I always do the head first so I know what gender I have and it sits and watches me finishing off lol! OK I know it's a bear but what can I say??

        Exactly!! (I think this is why they’re so hard to say goodbye to!)
        I love that you do the head first, I’ll do that from now on! What a lovely idea.

        I complete the head first too, then I pin it to a cushion with thin knitting needles (brilliant tip of yours to use needles for assembly and one I never would have thought of!) I then view it from a distance that's when a name usually comes to me.

      I love the finishing touches too, especially when it turns out exactly how you imagine it.
