Jack Bear's Great Coat

[absdax]

So i FINALLY got around to making JackBear a Great Coat.


Erin's mum lent me the sewing machine and i made the pattern up from looking at Jacks Dressing Gown.
The material was on sale in Spotlight which is what prompted me to spend 7 hours sitting in front of a sewing maching making it up as i went along!!!
(i havent done the button holes yet... but they will prob be done in another year... when i get around to it....!)

Anyway here is Jack in all of his glory...

see told you i was makin it!!!! was locked away in erin's basement with just the sewing maching for company! hehehe are those Jared feet??? or Jen feet??? cant tell...

Family room, not basement. We don't actually have a basement. Or an attic. Drives my mother crazy.

I'm pretty sure they're Jensen feet.

basement... eh... its under the house!!!

heheheh

Aww he looks so cute in his coat! I just love him. :)

[absdax.livejournal.com]

Thanks, he looks cute out of his coat too...
apparently, so i've heard from Ianto Bear!

[knitchick1979.livejournal.com]

OMG he's adorable!

So, how did you go about doing it? I've been banging my head against the wall for a while trying to figure out how to make a Jack coat for my bear to cosplay (and now I need to make one for the lion I got and named Captain Jack) :) Because that looks quite good!

GREAT JOB!!!!!! :D

I second the motion ... er ... request!

And why am I not working on Nano? Because I LOST THE PLOT!

[knitchick1979.livejournal.com]

plot? What's that?

I think Jacqueline shoved anything that was trying to masquerade as a plot into the cryogenics drawer ages ago.

Now I'm just trying to figure out how we're gonna stop the Nostrovite and save Rhea without untying her from the dessert cart. Because that would be dangerous :)

I'd like a bit of a tutorial as well!

JackBear had a dressing gown (from Builda Bear) and i just copied the pattern, made it a bit longer and altered the coller so it would stick up more.

i made the pattern out of newspaper first before i cut any of the material,

made sure it was gonna fit him, then sewed it all together.

But is that an Ianto/GDL style beaded necklace I spy in that first shot?

[absdax.livejournal.com]

kinda, i got it in San Fransisco when i was there, it has a shark tooth on it... so not really a GDL necklace!

[bandgeek01.livejournal.com]

So I assume you made it yourself, I'm interested in how you went about it :)

It's a fantatstic job :)

Yup made it myself.

One Build a Bear Dressing Gown.

saw how it all joined together, made the parts out of newspaper first, used sticky tape to stick it together to make sure it all fited JackBear, then when i was sure all the parts would be ok, i cut the material and sewed them al together.

took 7 hours in total.

thanks
Good Luck:-)

Any chance that you and that bear will be at the HUB2 con next year? My little teddy girl would like to meet that handsome bear! :D ;)

I am seriously hoping to go, but i havent got tickets yet, as am still traveling in far flung distant lands... but when i get home and get a job, i will look into getting a ticket...

So cute! Great job!

I wish I could make one, but BAB over here (US) doesn't have the gray trousers or the blue stripedy shirt, and I don't have any idea where to find tiny gray suspenders (braces).

[absdax.livejournal.com]

Hiya,

have you tried the website?

http://www.buildabear.com

the braces i found in an Claires Accsessorise Shop in my hometown.. they were human size and i just shortened them.

might be the easiest option.

:-)

good luck
