The Time I Tried To Build A Friend

On a visit to the Sewing Goddess, the Rapturous Mermaid BamPyrRate Renay. Green eyed envious little me, jealous of her ‘skills’ I asked her to teach me how to make teddy bears too.
One teddy bear in particular.  The adorable inside out teddy, she entered in the Nowra Show (also winning a super prize for him) and asked her to teach me to make him. 
What she did do was hand me a pattern on a piece of paper and told me to go for it.  She said I would figure it out and learn from my mistakes, which is supposedly the best way to learn. 
The method of learning proved to be intense, frustrating, mentally painful and wishing for death by impalement.  However I did manage to assemble the pieces eventually.  I still do not know if the pieces are assembled correctly, but it does look like a Teddy at least.  A very lucky to be a teddy, teddy. 
Here are some stunning photographs of my little man bear.  Please note that he is incomplete, he is yet to find suitable eyes and a name.
