Hello!  I used a cotton yarn for the teddy bear, since I thought that would be more appropriate for a newborn gift.  Also, I embroidered the face markings (actually one of the hardest things for me to do).  In order to sew the parts together, I separated the 4-ply yarn I was using and sewed it with 2-ply.  Thank you for your advice about the mattress stitch - the "how to" books simply show two flat pieces sewed together - which can be a little intimidating when you are new at crocheting rounded and curved pieces.  Thanks for your advice.

Wow! Great job, ladies! Glad to hear the bear was success!

wow your bear is adorable, his face is so cute.
I am just hopeless at sewing so my sewn faces can look quite scary!
Never heard of using dental floss what an amazing idea!
