In Jean’s words: “Unlike many teddy bear patterns, sweet Little Teddy is fully-jointed and designed to be posable & balanced so that he or she can stand like a doll! How fun is that!? The quick sew method of SEWING BEFORE CUTTING makes sewing this little teddy bear and the clothes a delight. Patterns for a 6 1/4" (16 cm) teddy bear, and all the favourite clothes (a basic dress, a gathered dress, & overalls), and even a bonus pattern of felt shoes for your unique Little Teddy are included! (P.S. The clothes and felt shoes fit Matilda, Lucky, and Kittie too!) This is my newest pattern and has my latest techniques - including how to get that dreamy-eyed look. Melt, melt.”
*These dolls are heirloom quality when complete, made with the finest German mohair or viscose fabrics, glass eyes and high quality fiber discs and joints. Check Jean’s blog for several free clothing and accessory patterns for your doll.
*What’s included in your kit: Jean’s digital downloadable pattern, which includes the Little Teddy pattern, and variations, beautiful German Mohair in colour honey (image 3), inner ear fabric, a pair of handblown glass eyes and all cotter pins and disc joints required for one Teddy, glass filler beads for added weight.
NOT included is fabric for the clothes, any accessories pictured such as hats, bows etc, stuffing, or the shoes. We decided not to include the shoes so you can choose the colour and style yourself if you’d like shoes for your doll. The shoes are beautifully made and I highly recommend them! They fit perfectly on Jean’s dolls. You will also require basic sewing supplies and hemostats can also be very useful (you can purchase these at tool shops or craft stores). Other helpful tools are described in Jean’s pattern.
*Jean recommends Hobbs Poly-down fibrefill, but you may also choose a high quality stuffing of your liking.
