Augustus is a quirky, fun character bear to sew. He stands 11 inches tall and is perfect wearing a coat in one of the new colourful modern furs. (Why not try him in my own hand made mohair : )
Augustus is five way jointed with glass eyes and happy wearing any fur, mohair, faux, or plush. (If you want him to join a younger child, safety eyes/joints can easily be substituted)
His pattern includes easy to follow instructions with plenty of pics and hints to help you create your own special, unique bear.
