ASSEMBLY
I
highly recommend searching Google images for tatty teddy photos and
illustrations before you begin to sew together the parts.
Sew
the head to the body.
Stuff
and sew the muzzle to the lower portion of the head. I recommend
sewing the muzzle on almost entirely, then
adding the stuffing (so the stuffing isn't in the way when you are
sewing).
Sew
the ears to the head.
Use
black yarn to embroider the eyes. The eyes are embroidered quite
close together, just above the muzzle.
Sew
head patch to head and embroider the nose in blue, using the photos
as a guide. Embroider decorative stitching on head using black or
dark brown yarn or embroidery thread.
Stuff
and sew the legs to either side of the body.
Sew
the foot patches to the feet. Embroider decorative stitching on feet
using black or dark brown yarn or embroidery thread.
Lightly
stuff arms (or don't add stuffing at all - I didn't add stuffing to
mine because I didn't have stuffing on hand when I was finishing this
project). Sew arms to either side of body.
Create
2 mini knitting needles from the dowel. (Optionally, apply a coat of
glue to the mid-sections of the mini knitting needles to make it
extra secure.) Wrap pink yarn around the mini knitting needles into a
ball shape.
Sew
the arms to the ball of yarn with knitting needles, so that the bear
appears to be holding them.
