Whether you want to create teddy bears, repair them, or simply enjoy their company, this book offers fourteen step-by-step bear-making projects rated by skill level, using beginning to advanced techniques. Here are traditional and miniature bears, including a standing circus bear, a sweet baby bear, and a bear reminiscent of early 1900s teddies, as well as bears made with Jiggle Joints and flexible limbs, and a bear that moves its head to music. A reference section covers all aspects of bear construction, from basic supplies to specialty stuffings. Here too are tips for creating unique and expressive faces, pattern alterations, clothing patterns, and informative "bear facts" sprinkled throughout. The book is illustrated with patterns, color diagrams, and step-by-step color photos.
