It was decided by Button's lovely owner to replace his nose and mouth stitching (matching the colour as original) and to replace his little pink tongue...
Moritz Pappe baby bears had the sweetest little felt tongues so I have hand felted him one with wool rather than use synthetic felt that is available today...As it was hand made I was also able to custom blend the colours to match his gingery coloured mouth stitching with the sweet pink colour of his tongue...
I've also resewn the inner seams of his arms and one leg and both foot pads have now been strengthened by tiny stitches....
Next up is to restore his hand pads and repair the holes in his left arm....
Back again soon with more photos of his progress....Have a great week!
