I think you did the right thing Joan, perhaps there will come a time when your kids will appreciate the gesture. I hope so.

I have made many teddy bears, gave them all away to family or charity sales. I have used all different types of fur, even sheep fleece like stuff. I called them Bear in Sheep's Clothing. :wink:

I only have one left right now because he needs his head and ears sewn on. I made so many of them that I had templates of the pattern pieces cut out of plexiglass. I still have them. It was a purchased pattern and I made patterns for clothes, overalls for the boys and a dress for the girls.

A gal at work had a memory bear made from her Dad's shirt. Here is the site she used:
