Well done doing that from a jelly roll.  I usually find some fabrics that stand out like a sore thumb.  Those are lovely colours.  Lone Star has been on my to do list for ages, I might get round to it one day.

Well done, I knew you could do it.  I know just how challenging every stitch was!  She looks very sweet, actually not green at all on my screen. 
Has it given you an urge to do another, bigger one?

I always like to choose a nice fabric for the pocket bags and waistband facing even though no one else can see it 

I presume you are looking to do a sweater with a circular, patterned yoke.. If so then top down is perfect and you end up with no sewing up just a few ends to sew in.  I'm a huge fan of seamless knitting.
Have a look at Drops Design.  All their patterns are free and whilst there is some rather weird stuff they do have a huge number of patterned yoke, top down patterns.  When you download choose the English (UK) version.

I can't put the eyes, nose and mouth on until the end.

@Flobear I just used the beads but i coloured the thread black where it went through the bead and they looked better.
They probably are bigger than 1mm but they certainly aren't 2mm.

Feast your eyes boys - this is the first and definitely the last miniature bear that you will see come out of my sewing room!
It was, apart from DH's jacket, the most challenging thing I have sewn simply because of its size.   He's 3 1/2" tall when standing.  I know he's got a crooked nose and mouth but I love him to bits.  I didn't use the red, felt jacket because I thought the felt was too thick and stiff.  I will find something better for his neck, it is just a piece of organza ribbon that I had. It has actually made me want to make another bear but a more sensible size.
