FRIENDS MAY LET YOU DOWN, BUT NOT TEDDY BEARS

Our Textile Teddies will never let you down. They are expertly sewn by housewives as part of our social enterprise that engages families with interesting skills to generate income for them. It's been a while since we last show you our Textile Teddies, so here are some of our latest designs. As always, only a few bears and dogs are made with each fabric pattern. Hope you like them.

Group 1: Our Textile Teddies come in three sizes (from left) Small (with keychain), Big and Jumbo size. 

They have moveable arms and legs and can sit in different poses.

Hand-Crocheted HOODY BEARS ~ Most Unique Teddy Bears wearing Hoods of Different Animals and Characters

Our HOODY BEARS are among TeddyThotz's earliest and most unique teddy bear designs. They are bears wearing a hood of a different animal or character. The hood can be pulled back to reveal a cute smiling teddy bear.

We started the HOODY BEAR series some years ago when we got to know Ole who was crocheting during her free time after work to supplement her income. Ole, who is now a mother of two kids, learnt to crochet from her mother when she was a little girl.

With the HOODY BEAR idea that we gave her, Ole has created many hoody bear characters showcased in this post. Our HOODY BEARS now also provide extra income for Ole's elderly mother's extended family living in the countryside.

Shown below are the three different sizes of HOODY BEARS that we have ~ Small (8-9cm tall) with keychain for hanging on bags or in your car, Medium (17-20cm tall) and Large (23-26cm tall):

THE THREE DIFFERENT SIZES OF OUR HOODY BEARS ~ Small with keychain (8-9cm tall), Medium (17-20cm tall) and Large (23-26cm tall). The hood can be pulled back to reveal the full head of a cute smiling teddy bear.
