Bear Brush (Item # TBB)
The bear brush is not only used to make our bears fluffier and well groomed but it has a real purpose in the actual construction of the bear. When you sew a two pieces right sides together you brush the fur that is attached to the seam allowance to the wrong side - this is called back brushing and makes a truly invisible seam from the right side. It's a must!
