Teddy bear Vinny

In 2006 I first learned about Teddy bears from my good friend. She shared with me some secrets of their manufacture and gave me my first Teddy pattern. I made my first Teddy bear Vinny from yellow knitwear and tightly filled it up with sintepon. For the swivel I used bolts and nuts. The eyes are made from suede buttons, the nose and eyebrows are embroidered from embroidery floss. Then I sewed clothes for him from Jersey, and have drawn three-dimensional image by marker on the heels.

My Vinny had travel with me to many cities – Donetsk, Korolev, Irkutsk, Kazan. He still lives with me and every time reminds me where I started, helps to improve my skills in creating Teddy bears and his friends.
