Summers_Eva1.jpg - Eva Summers I design and make teddy bears.  I have for years went to thrift shops and bought old coats to make bears from.  This is a 14 inch bear made from one of the old mink coats.  Old coats are hard to work with as most of the leather on these coats is quite dry so I line the bear with muslin.  I do machine sew the bear add joints in the head, arms and legs and put on child safe eyes and nose.  The feet are leather scrapes that I have bought at the flea market.
