What is your favorite material to sew...

can be hard to work with but as long as you take your time with furry material it's pretty easy to work with. do everything inside out leaving a 4 inch slit in the leg when finished using a wooden stick or yardstick to help turn it right side out when done sewing then stuff it fully keeping it tight then sew up the slit at the last have fun will last for years. wife of mine also adds plastic eyes and a nose she found at a fabric store in town up here looks pretty good too she sells them at her craft sales when she goes usually at Christmas or other special holidays...

Thank you for the hints! :) I don't think it's the fur that intimidates me as much as the animal. I've made them before, too, and they just get to the point they don't fit under the machine anymore. I'm making bears that my grandmother made for me and my brother and sisters, gosh, over 30 years ago! If all works well, I'll continue the tradition of a stuffed bear for all my nephews. My sisters, I know, will appreciate the memory! :)
