no knickers.
Honey is about 6" tall and made from mohair.
I've run out of patience today to even start thinking about making a pair of little bear's knickers.
She does have a reversible dress though, which turned out better than I thought ,
in fact, a reversible dress is a lot easier to make than a normal dress. I'll post a how-to on Friday.
This is my favorite, hands down...the cutest creature you've ever made (maybe...that's tough cause there are so many cute ones). Is it hard to sew with the fur? Do you sew it by hand or machine? Gosh, I'd love to sit with you for an afternoon (with tea or alcohol, of course) and get a lesson. She is so completely perfect!

Oh my goodness....This is one of your finest achievements!

Aw so sweet! Did my mum get back to you on the babysitting thing? ;)

I am in awe! she is so beautiful. Do you sell any of your bears? I would pay dearly for one of those. Oh, and do you make your own patterns?

honey is so cute and so tiny! I love her big bear head and her little ear bow... love the dress,too...can't wait for the how-to.

Okay so just one more comment, I hope there is not a limit;) I also saw the little white kitten in the month of softies. Could I, or dare I ask what has become of her. Was she adopted by a good family or does she still reside with you? Oh can a girl dream.

What a cuteie! Loving the reversible dress, and the teensy hairbow (furbow? Earbow?)
Hey, Winnie-ther-Pooh never wore any undies either! Or pants for that matter.

Aaaaaww....so tiny and cute ;o)
LOVE the dress...what do you do with all the cuteness you make?
Posted by: Kristina | January 25, 2006 at 03:18 PM
cute cute cute!

She and her dress are adorable! How is mohair to work with? You are right about reversable dresses being easy, especially when they're teeninecy.

Love her! Can't wait until Friday's tutorial...
xxoo

awww, what a little schmoopy. I think she needs a little sun bonnet to go with that (those?) cute sundress....or maybe just a headband.

She's super cute! Love the reversible dress. I can totally see how that would be easier to make. Hopefully I will remember that when (if) I ever get to make another doll!

awwww! my english is not good enough to let you know how much i like this little bear! :)

Silly, bears don't wear underwear...

I'm in on that tea party!
You, my dear, are a genius with that sewing machine and/or your hands and/or that magic fairy dust.

So so cute!!!! I just want to reach through the screen and pet her and shower her with love!

Sweet and beautiful honey!! You're a magician!! Wonderful work.
Posted by: natascha | January 25, 2006 at 07:20 PM
She's a real sweetheart! I'd give her a hug. What kind of eyes are those? They are so small and give her a great expression.
Posted by: abbyjane | January 25, 2006 at 08:12 PM
I love her!
You must have had a lot of patience to make her in the first place.
Posted by: ivy | January 25, 2006 at 08:26 PM
all fur coat and no knickers eh? they're still awfully sweet...
Posted by: patricia | January 25, 2006 at 08:48 PM

My goodness! That has to be the sweetest bear I have ever seen.
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing.

Posted by: suzy | January 26, 2006 at 01:16 AM
Supercute! And I LOVE the dress!
Posted by: Rose | January 26, 2006 at 02:14 AM
Adorable as always!
Posted by: vicki | January 26, 2006 at 02:15 AM
Oh My! That is soooo cute. I just made my first bear ever. Why did I start with a 6" bear? Where does one find mohair and is it terribly expensive? Honey is just too cute. Thanks for sharing her.
Posted by: pookieville | January 26, 2006 at 03:54 AM
I love her so much! I have wanted to make a little mohair bear for the longest time! So cute!!!
Posted by: Melissa | January 26, 2006 at 06:11 AM
she is just delightful, can't wait for the tutorial...
Posted by: sarah | January 26, 2006 at 07:15 AM
I was wondering on the off chance you would be interested in swapping mohair amiguri bear for one of my wooden bears?
Posted by: Chief-Ten-Bears | January 26, 2006 at 10:06 AM
So sweet and cute to look at but she must be sassy to go knickerless! (or perhaps she just needs an invisible panty line?) either way those boy bears are not going to stand a chance!
Posted by: pyglet | January 26, 2006 at 12:32 PM
watch out, boy bears, indeed! she is such a little cutie. i'm going to leave my latest dollies naked until the tutorial and just drool over your work until then. OK, well, i have such a hard time making toy/doll clothing that i'll probably still leave my dollies naked, but i will be inspired and admiring and THINK VERY HARD about it.

If I say, "Awwwww" does that get my meaning across? Love the Elephant family, too!
