Description

I finally took good photos of my Imperial bear, another of the bears my father made up. He's a bit tinier than Purple bear, though I used the same pattern...

Materials

Again, sort of stretch velvet (recycled, as usual), shiny in this case. And also recycled fur. I'm not a fan of real fur at all, but I think that when it's already used, reusing it is much better than throwing it away...

Credits

Father for the idea of Imperial bear. :-)

    I love your plush bears(if my daughter sees them, I'm going to make one for her, too:)))... And you drafted a great pattern, there. I wish I could be so patient and thorough as you are... And in Romanian, bear=URS and Ursus is a local beer brand ;) So in Latin the Imperial bear= Ursus Regalis?

    I don't speak Latin, unfortunatelly... but Ursus regalis sounds more like Royal bear... I'd have to ask somebody who studied some Latin, or our old trusty wordbook. :-)
    Drafting the pattern really wasn't that hard, I made it on a grid (so I was sure I got all the measurements right) and since I already had some experience with other stuffed animals, I simply followed the principles I observed at them... moreover, the stretchy fabric covers some imperfections, it stretches over them. :-)

    Thanks, I would have loved to have such, too... but fortunately for me, I had lots of other cute toys.
