All hand sewn @sewminds   A 2mm seam on shifty fabric would have been a nightmare with a machine.

I can't put the eyes, nose and mouth on until the end.
Life's too short for ironing.

@Ploshkin i usually do the eyes before the head is attached as I find it easier, sometimes I  do the whole face but not always

Oh my Word!
I met @Ploshkin's little bear this morning. Cuter than a cute thing on World Cuteness Day. He looked even smaller then I expected and was finished to perfection. What a clever sis I have!

I might need to do what someone else has done. Change up the thread colour a bit...I'm going crosseyed trying to see the sts from the front. :embarrassed:
One leg sewn but still soleless.

Update.
I now have enough bits  :) 
For scale, each ear is sitting on a Polo mint though in fact, two will fit on one mint!

I have actually fixed all the joints but am having a rest from the mental exhaustion  :faints:

I'll join you!  :faints: :faints: hey 2 ears equals two faints!

Mine is on hold at the moment, I hope in a couple of days i can move forward again. I'm doing mindless stockinette because of what's happening privately. If I put it into print, maybe I'll miraculously be able to actually talk to my mother at least via phone. I feel my sister is blocking everything. Too many tears here to see fine hand sewing.

@sewminds  :hug:.

I got the two wonderful books. Found some suitable fabric in sample books I have. Then realized that the patterns included seam allowances. The ears are smaller than my fingernails.  :faints:

Maybe in the winter when I hunker in and turn on lots of lights. :thinking:
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.

Finished at last!
She's got rather  long neck and ribbon looked a bit silly so she has a temporary bandana. The original pattern has 'angel wings' but wingèd teddy-bears are totally not my thing. I chose her because I liked the colour.
