a first attempt

I don't do teddy bears. But having found a small pattern of a teddy here (thankyou Christy!) I decided to give it a go. Cut the felt. Sew the felt. Stuff the felt. Add buttons for mobility. Finished body! Yay! And except for a slightly crooked tail, acceptable! Now, the head.
Attempt one. No, that can't be right. Attempt two. Chuck. Attempt three. Toss. Attempt four. Give to cat. Attempt five. Ok! Now the ears... oops! Slightly crooked...oh well. Eyes for buttons, sew on head.
First attempt at teddy making - acceptable. All in all, I'm quite pleased! What do you think?
