F. A. Q's

Let's start with: how many bears do you need for your family? Once I know the number you have in mind, then I can cater the size of the bears to meet those requirements - as best as I can.

A basic guideline though is one size large men's long sleeved shirt could provide:

• 4-5 of the 12 inch sized bears
• 2 of the 17 inch sized bears
• 1 of the 19 inch sized bear (plus maybe 1 or 2 of the 10 inch)

A single baby sleeper will provide 1 of the 10 inch sized bears.

If you have a collection of baby sleepers between 12-20, I can mix them to create a 17 or 19 inch sized bear.

A fur coat that is waist length could provide:

• 4 of the 12 inch sized fur bears
• 1 of the 17 inch size, plus 1 of the 12 inch sized fur bears
• 1 of the 19 inch sized fur bear.

A fur coat that is full length could provide:

• 12-16 of the 12 inch sized bears
• 4 of the 17 inch sized bears
• 3 of the 19 inch sized bears

Please note these are estimates based on my experiences. Things need to be taken into account such as condition and any stains or damage that need to be worked around giving me less material to work with. I place all of my pattern pieces onto the material prior to even tracing. In order to determine what exactly I can create and at that point I can confirm with the client before proceeding any further.
