Last year I designed bear Alice especially for Teddy Bears of Witney, and for the new catalogue 2010/2011 I have made this character, the Mad Hatter. I started to make the hat, measured the head of the bear and made a sample of thick paper untill I was completely satisfied which the height and the width. Then I made the hat again of black felt and stiffened it and gave it some decorations. Designing the trousers was next. I wanted it to be wide at the seam, fabric is silk. Jacket is made from very nice crunched velvet which I bought in Paris a while ago. And the finishing touch is the tape measure, which I made from cotton. It was fun working with this guy, hope you like him too.

And great the tape measure.
We are in the change now, and the letter to you from me is late.
