Have any of you ever made a swimsuit for a Build a Bear?

[lucysmam]

& would tell me how you did it?

I can't work it out & have no scraps for experimentation, just a teeny piece I pinched from a craft group that I think will be enough

[parrotonmyshoulder]

No. But I'm making them for sylvanians this evening, apparently!

[parrotonmyshoulder]

I'm useless though and will be just sewing identical back and front pieces together

[lucysmam]

Ooh, we haven't had the Sylvanians out in ages! I have no intention of making clothes quite so teeny if I can help it though

Couldn't you just buy a babies one? I'm sure that 0-3 months would fit and would probably be a lot easier!!

[parrotonmyshoulder]

Ours have taken over the entire living room today (with a little 'assistance' from Spider-Man and the Lego guys at times). Sylvanians all require swimsuits. Greedy little rodents!

Probably Ilike but it's the Rainbows bear, we're limited on spending money at the moment & making it myself with scraps acquired here and there is cheaper than buying.

There's a Rainbows bear? I don't think DD's pack (Troupe? Cloud?) have one of these! She would be talking about it constantly.

At the bottom of this link is a doll's swimming costume pattern, could you adapt it?

[BlossomCat]

Aaagh! Link fail! I'll try again!

It's a Build a Bear (it's actually a cat with a very long tail) - we went today & made it plus got knickers and trainers. All for nothing! The girls had an absolute ball & the woman who did it was fab with them.

Worth your dd's leaders asking instore if you have one local to you & they want a unit mascot

[lucysmam]

Thanks very much Blossom, I think I could adapt that. I've hunted all over the place & not seen anything.

One I downloaded just took me to a blank page when I opened it to print
