The ever-popular teddy bear rarely fails to bring a smile to a child's face or a special warmth to the nursery. In this easy-to-follow how-to book, crafts instructor and teddy bear designer Jodie Davis shows needleworkers a fast and simple way to create this universally appealing creature. Clearly written and abundantly illustrated, the book includes complete instructions and patterns for making a 16"-tall jointed bear and four costumes - two each for a boy and a girl teddy.

Beginning needlecrafters - as well as bear lovers unfamiliar with a teddy bear's physical engineering - will find suggestions for preparing patterns and selecting fabrics and helpful diagrams for assembling the bear and stuffing the animals. Once the furry little fellow is complete, wardrobes can be sewn from ready-to-use patterns for matching school outfits, a dainty dress and a boy's all-purpose jumpsuit. Patterns for bear and for clothing are provided. Color illustrations on the covers suggest possible color schemes for creating and outfitting these adorable little creatures.
