Well, Christmas teddy bear outfits aren't so highly in demand in July, so I figured I'd get one now, since I now know that the shirts and coats from them fit my plush lemmings. 
Darwin was not best pleased to have to dress like this in the middle of the unbelievable heatwave that we have here right now, and Amigo (the little crocheted lemming that I bought*) and Mr. Lemming (the mini-sized plush lemming that I made) were likewise not too happy to have to stand in a bag of presents. They were all good sports about it, though.
*(The seller is listed in The Lemmings Fan Goods Index, under the Plushes heading.)
When I was looking into this, I found that I didn't like how this year's Build-A-Bear Workshop Santa Claus outfit looks, so I went for this one instead, and I'm glad I did. It's made by a company called Teddy Mountain, and is actually meant for 16" bears, so it's a little bigger than the standard Build-A-Bear Workshop clothing size, which is for 15" ones. Either size works for lemmings, and both sizes have a bit of a baggy fit, but I think this works really well. The hat will need a little adjustment, though, as the brim is currently too large (I used a sewing clip at the back in order to make it fit Darwin properly in the picture).
Anyway, yes, just wanted to show this off, as I found it cute.

I just wish we could get that weather back here, already.Darwin was not best pleased to have to dress like this in the middle of the unbelievable heatwave that we have here right now

It's too hot!Looks nice. It is a bit early though.Heh, thanks.
It's definitely early, but that said, I'm already working on making things in time for Christmas (such is how it goes when you sew, I suppose!), so it fits in with my current mindset, in the end.
