make a teddy bear

I’d love to make a jointed teddy bear! I love the idea of being able to customize them however I’d like and possibly sell them at some point ;) 16 months ago

My son never really took to any animal, blankie, paci… So when a pair of flannel pj’s I had ripped beyond repair, I thought, perhaps he’d like a teddy bear made from the comfy fabric.

It seems kind of weird now that he’s 18 though.

I really want to make a bear – a proper one so I have ordered the kit but it is so complicated so I now I need to have the patience and perseverance to keep it up. Especially as the pattern does not make any sense! 22 months ago

Just finished a bear for my nephew this weekend. He’s only a little wonky (it kind-of looks like he is tilting his head to listen all the time, and his ears are just a tad on the large size) but I think it just gives him character. I hand sewed him from a pattern I found online with a few modifications. I didn’t use joints and I enlarged the pattern a bit so he stands about 12” tall. 3 years ago

I made a miniature bear from a kit and gave it to my husband. He named it Phil. 3 years ago

I made them for my nieces and nephews’ Christmas presents one year. I was going to make their clothes, but time caught up with me, so I went to Build-a-bear instead – but just for the clothes.

I made this little needle-felted guy. He’s cute, but he’s not a proper teddy bear. I just wanted to give him a showing. It’s not his fault he doesn’t fit the criteria. 4 years ago

There are a lot of great fur fabrics out there. This is a really fun, easy project. When my daughter had a sleepover slumber party, I made bears for all the girls and they stuffed them themselves. 5 years ago

partly so I can justify the cost of the Japanese craft books I’ve bought. 6 years ago
