Michelle's Teddy Bear is about 8" when finished. He's one of my very first bears. He was overlooked for many years, and  is here by request. I plan to make one soon. 
He can be made using soft, baby fabrics for tiny ones to love. Another idea is to use baby's outgrown clothes for the materials and create a treasured keepsake. Embroider name and birthdate on tummy patch.
