He has been in pieces since before Christmas so I thought I should finish him, he is made from 2old tee shirts that where destined for the bin. He is button jointed.

He is beautiful - he has such a sweet face.   :)
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I love him! I want one  :'( Is there a pattern?

I only have one teddy in my house, a little Panda in a sleeveless argyle jumper than an ex boyfriend bought me. I could do with another  0_0

Thank you everyone, he is the first I have made for a long time but I used to make a lot of mohair bears, I love the idea on this one of making him almost exclusively out of recycled fabrics even his stuffing is from a cushion admittedly one that haven’t been used.

@Francesca  I do not have a pattern for him as he is a bit of one and a bit of another plus my own adaptation, there are a lot of patterns available on line for button jointed bears memory bears.

Love your bear Celia.  I have ventured into toy making a few times, but let's just say other projects suit me better... :S

I would love to make a bear like that though... :(

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Nice! Those stripes give him character. He looks really jolly - someone's going to have lots of fun playing with him.
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.
