Book Overview
There's an easy way to own a traditionally styled teddy bear: make it yourself! It's not difficult at all; with basic sewing skills, and this encyclopedia at your side, you're ready to begin. Materials lists explain what to use for children's and collectors' bears. Information on the best tools and equipment will help you do the job well. Work from a pattern, or see how to design your own; follow detailed instructions on fabric layout, marking, and cutting; and stitch it up, piece by piece. Get the "bear bones" on inserting joints and stuffing. Add expressive facial features, antique or distress the animal to give it a much-loved look, and make miniatures and garments. You'll cherish these bears for a lifetime.

#1 Choice for the Beginning Teddy Bear Artist.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I think this book is a must for any teddy bear artist - but especially appropriate for those who are beginning, like myself. It is easy to follow and very well illustrated. I look very forward to finishing up my first teddy bear! This book has illustrations of bears created by many of today's top bear artists as well. Very inspiring.
A must have for all teddy bear makers and beginners!

This book contains a wealth of information for even the advanced bear artist. Whenever I need to refer to a basic pattern flow or vary the look of the bear, I always use this book. I recommend this book to anyone interested in designing your own bear with a little help from an excellent author.

I keep this book propped up by my sewing machine. This book takes you through each step. From buying supplies & materials to finishing your bear, and patterns for clothes. The pictures are clear and accurate, and there are lots of them, great if you want the visual on how to as well. The instructions are eaasy to follow, with lots of tips. This is my main reference book.
Excellent
