This is a hand-sewn big leather teddy bear I made a few years ago; I found a bunch of leather on sale and thought I'd try something unusual with it. This bear happens to be made of elk leather. He's about 20" tall. As I recall, hand-stitching leather is pretty difficult...
EDIT: Geez. Okay, okay...I'll move it into Scraps.
I had a really hard time figuring out which needle to use. It turned out that a teensy needle works a lot better than a big fat one, and I forgot my thimble, so I kept puncturing my thumb with the end of the needle.
Leather Teddy..Leather Daddy..
HOHOHO.
]: I feel so behind.
You have to admit, though. The Leather Daddy/Teddy idea is kind of awesome, too.
I hope you're happy. ;_;
