More Information
Almost any clothing  can be used and you may wish your bear to be made purely from shirts or you could mix with other items such as jumpers, cardigans, jackets, trousers, jeans to add in different textures and colours.  Items to avoid are chunky hand knit wools and swimwear materials. The final look of each bear may vary as it depends on the fabric supplied. As used fabrics are more delicate, please be aware the more worn, well washed, stretchy the items are there is a greater chance that the stitches may pull into tiny holes along the seams.
 
Bears are approximately 46cm from top to toe. 
 
Here is a  guide as to how many items to send for a keepsake bear:
 
Older children:  2-6 items
 
Adults: 1 decent sized shirt or equivalent will make 1 bear, long sleeved if a waistcoat is wanted. More items can be supplied if you want your bear to be made in a mix of clothes.
