The Haberdashery / Re: Fur fabric

Thanks Vegegrow!  I've already been in touch with them and WeaverDee and another I can't quite remember the name of!  Mohair bear don't sell anything washable, just stuff for collectors bears and WD fur isn't flame tested - although it is sold for soft toy making!  I can't believe how tricky this is!  Seems bears now are made to look at but not actually suck, chew, wash and repeat!

I bought a Lidl Singer overlocker in March this year.  Didn't expect much but thought it worth a punt and have to say it's been great (much to my surprise!).  Also bought some of their cones of thread and they've been fine too.  :)

The Haberdashery / Fur fabric
« on: August 09, 2017, 10:37:28 AM »
I've been asked to make a teddy bear for my first grandchild.  I'm thrilled, even though my experience of soft toy making is nil!  First obstacle is that I'm finding it nigh on impossible to buy fur fabric with EN71 certification.  I've bought the filling easily enough.  Any ideas?  :)

I'm another returnee from TSF.  Hope to find this place as useful as that one was.  Are there any soft toy makers here?  I'm trying to source flame retardant fur fabric for a teddy bear.  Never made one before!  Much help needed .  Thank you.   :)
