Notes: 

This was a fun project. Heavy beat really needed for this weave. Would have used a heavier  chenille and not leather for the foot pads and the ears. Very fun project, no matter how I tried they all turned out to be individual bears. The twill is woven in chenille and the plain weave is woven with the 20/2 warp thread
