Dylan

I’m afraid I’ve rather fallen for my latest creation. This is Dylan; all 7½ inches of him! I knew as soon as I saw the pattern that I must make him. 


Dylan is from a pattern by Sylvie Touzard (next picture). The original bear I think is made from Viscose, which I didn’t have, so I used a similar colour mohair and cut it back quite a lot.


I’ve been as true to the pattern as I can; right down to his funny little trousers. The pattern calls for an old sock! However, I used the end of a sleeve of an old jumper I was going to throw out – to the same effect more or less; and then simply added some ribbon and I also added a couple of bells. And what about that cute little fat tummy – similar to mine right now, but that’s not why I love him so much LOL


Dylan has black glass eyes, a stitched nose and is filled with fibre fill and steel shot. I think he’s going to take pride of place – certainly for the time being anyway!

  1. I love him and his cute shaped head! It must have been so difficult stitching such a little bear but he is beautiful Julia! x

  2. Oh my, he is just the most gorgeous wee man. That little tummy is so sweet, just like my Bill's, in fact I'd say it's pretty much a mirror image. lol. I would say my dear friend that you are well and truly addicted to this little task of bear making you have taken on. How wonderful and what a wonderful job you make of them all.
