Two New Pooh Bears for a New Year!
Two Winnie the Poohs flew home this week, fully rejuvenated for a new year. They’re a little different than the Poohs in my classic Pooh post, but pretty similar to each other, so I thought they’d be a good way to enter 2021.
First is a clothed Winnie the Pooh with a multicolored scarf. Here is his diagnosis photo:
As you can see, he was a little flat, his fur was a bit compressed. What you can’t see is that all those gathers in his scarf are wired, and the wires were poking through the scarf and scratching his human. So the plan was a spa for his compression and weight loss, and hopefully some sewing to fix up his scarf. Here he is in his bubble bath:
And here’s his heart being made and installed, a classic Pooh Bear heart with some of his original stuffing:
Then he had his first fur fluffing, and I sent photos to be sure his chubbiness was right before his scarf was refitted:
He’s perfect!!! said his person.
Then, for his scarf, I removed the wires and stitched the gathers instead, then refitted it onto him. One more fur fluff, and he was ready to fly home:
The other Pooh wasn’t going to have a bath, and was much more worn (and quite a bit older). Here’s his diagnosis photos:
The plan for this guy was to keep him as is inside, add a touch of supplemental stuffing to plump him up, and then fully recover him (thereby fixing balding, nose, and smile). So, the first decision was what fur to use:
Pooh’s family opted for the furry fleece in the second photo. So surgery proceeded. And soon… Pooh was ready to fly home:
His family’s response… “That is awesome!”
I hope the newly smiling Pooh made you smile, and that you all have a happy (and better) 2021!
