Slight Change...

I've been sewing Otis stuffed toys for a few years now, but have always been very aware that the fabric I used did not match the real bear's fur exactly.  People didn't seem to mind, and I could not find an alternative, so I carried on.  However, the other day while at Hobbycraft, I discovered a fur fabric that was almost perfect!

 So I have made a new and improved Otis!  I am very happy with the end result - this one already has a home, but there are 4 more in the pipeline.

You watch though, next time I go to Hobbycraft, there will be no more of this fabric...
