Charming teddy bear

Previously, it was planned to sew a small white bear similar to Umka, but in the midst of work, the idea changed dramatically. This toy contains two different images: Teddy Bear and Umka. From Teddy I took the image of his face, torn seams and patches, but from Umka, probably, only the white color of the fabric. It will be very beautiful if you sew this toy from artificial white fur, plush or soft fleecy fabric. Instead of eyes, sew black beads, and the nose can be sewn from a black piece of leather or use a ready-made one from a specialized store. In general, the toy can be designed according to your varied imagination.

To sew a teddy bear, we need:
• Fabric size 25x25 cm;
• Toy filler;
• Needle and white thread;
• Scissors;
• Sheet A4;
• Needles with ears - 5-7 pcs.;
• Simple pencil;
• Black marker.
For decoration:
• Santa Claus hat;
• Red fabric 4×4 cm;
• Black floss.



And so, let's get to work.

1. On an A4 sheet of paper, draw the shape of our bear with a simple pencil.




2. Cut out this pattern and apply it to the prepared fabric. In my case it is a white sheet fabric.Then, using a black marker, outline the pattern of the bear, leaving a seam allowance of approximately 5 mm.



3. Now we thread needles with eyes into the stitching line.



In order for the cut out two bases of the bear to be even at the joints. Next, cut out the bear strictly along the black outline.



4. Then we machine stitch the two parts of our workpiece together.



We leave a small hole on the right side so that it is convenient to fill the toy with filler.
5. After this, using a regular pencil, turn the bear inside out and fill the toy with the prepared padding polyester through the hole left, distributing it evenly over all parts of the bear’s body.



Then we sew this hole with an invisible seam.



6. To make the bear’s image look clear and beautiful, highlight the paws in black. Namely, using black floss, we carefully stitch the claws on the paws. Three claws on each paw.



7. Now we sew a decorative ragged seam on the tummy of the toy.



8. Then with a black marker we make marks on the bear’s face.



We take the face of a Teddy bear as a basis. If desired, you can use decorative stones, beads or special children's devices for toys.
9. In the same way as on the tummy, using black floss, we sew several torn seams on the right and left sides, as well as on the forehead of the toy.



10. Now, according to our outlines, we sew the eyes, eyebrows, muzzle and nose with three threads of floss. We sew with regular satin stitch.





11. Then cut the prepared red fabric in half. These will be blanks for bear patches. Next, we sew these patches with black floss, sew one on the front right foot, the other on the back left.




12. Sew a New Year’s hat on the bear. And that’s it, our polar bear is ready.
