Before you order your
Bubs Bear please consider the following points:
your bear will be approximately 17 inches
tall. The number of items of clothing required to make the bear will depend
on what size they are. As an example, my daughters bear was made using
eight items of clothing aged newborn to age one, so they were quite small.
This gave me enough fabric to make the patchwork plus it gave a variety of
colours and textures.
don’t disregard clothes that have stitched
logos, pictures or embroidery on them as these can sometimes be
incorporated into the bear.
please ensure all clothes you send are
nice and clean - but there’s no need to iron them!
each bear is handmade and this takes
time. If it is needed by a certain date, please let me know and please
order well in advance so I can endeavour to get your bear to you on time.
let me know the name of who the bear will
belong to, and whether it is for a special occasion, and I will include a
personalised certificate with the relevant information on it, e.g. this
Bubs Bear was made especially for Max Greene on the occasion of his 1st
birthday, 27th June 2006.
Finally please note: my bears can be a
keepsake or a toy for cuddling but please be aware that the arms and legs
are joined to the body by buttons and these may not be suitable for babies
who like to chew everything.
