Planning a party for dd1 who will be 8. She is wanting a bear party, have persuaded her that a pyjama party might be more appropriate. Was thinking of decorating cups and baking them for hot chocolate, food, dvd etc. I know she would love a build a bear type thing, but it is expensive even for the home packs, and dd2 will then want to do the same a fortnight later.
Was wondering whether anyone has made their own build a bear type skins and any experience of doing it at a party, will probably be about max 10 including my 3. I already have some velour black material, some silky white material, stuffing, no eyes though. Wondered if I would manage to make some panda bears. Does anyone have a pattern? I have sewing machine, and some basic sewing skills. Obviously I would make them up first, but thinking about the sealing it up once they have stuffed it etc. Not sure I could handle a zip, though how hard can it be!
