Bailey is a great bear for any age. There are no buttons or other small parts that would be a choking hazard for a baby - and you can make it up in funky fabrics and patterns for older kids. I usually choose a fabric with texture for the tummy patch - corduroy, chenille, velvet, flannel, etc. No special reason - I just think it's fun.

Materials you'll need:

• 1/3 yd. of the main fabric
• scraps of fabric for the tummy and the linings of the ears
• scrap of felt for the nose
