I advise you not to neglect the stage of sweeping parts that are difficult to sew. Having noticed such details, it will not be difficult to sew them on a typewriter. The part will not move. As a result, you will get a good seam and an even detail of the toy.

  • Unscrew the details of the bear's arms and legs.

  • On the arms and legs, make points in the middle of the upper part - this will be the attachment point.
  • If we want the arms and legs of our toy bear to be movable, then we take a large needle and insert it into the mark point for attaching the handle. Next, you need to pierce through the body and bring the needle to the point of the second handle - symmetrically on the other side of the body, grabbing the handle at the marked point. Withdraw the needle and reinsert in the same place into the handle part, bringing the needle through the body to a point on the other side, while grabbing the second handle. This must be done three times. It is recommended not to pull the thread too much so that the torso of the toy is not pulled together. But it should not be too loose, then the paws will hang. It is important to insert the needle exactly where it came out. Only in this case the bear's paws will move.
  • In the same way, sew the legs to the body of the toy.

Teddy bear pattern

Our master class on how to sew a teddy bear with your own hands has come to an end. Today we learned how easy it is to sew a bear from felt, from knitted fabric, as well as how to sew a classic teddy bear with our own hands.

I wish you that this toy, created with your own hands with a soul, will become your child's favorite!

I advise you to watch a video master class on sewing a bear toy in a simple way.

A teddy bear is a toy that puts soft sides to almost every little person during sleep; listens to all the grievances accumulated during the day from the girls who have already matured, silently supporting; becomes an irreplaceable friend in games.

Beloved by all, the clubfoot has been giving joy and touching for more than one generation. But it is not necessary to buy a soft friend in the store, you can sew it yourself.

Such a gift will surely please the kid and anyone can sew this adorable creature.

We present step-by-step instructions - it will help you understand the intricacies and nuances of making a toy. Taking it as a basis, you can create not only a bear, but also any other craft. Everything is limited only by your imagination. Take action and let this article be the starting point for your further journey into the fascinating world of needlework.

  • The basis of the fluffy "miracle" is a fabric with a soft pile. It can be plush, natural or artificial fur, mohair, velvet.
  • Additional dense fabric in any other shade for the pads and ears. It will look beautiful if you take a couple of tones lighter, but this is not important. Not necessarily with pile - calico, flannel, silk, suede.
  • Pattern paper.
  • Pencil or pen, scissors.
  • Threads, floss or strong silk threads, sewing needles.
  • Black beads or buttons - these will be the eyes.
  • Stuffing (cotton wool, synthetic winterizer). Perhaps any old things, rags that have been lying "idle" for a long time.

Sequencing

Having decided on the color of the future bear, choose the right fabric. Plush is usually used. By the way, a nice moment for beginners - "plush" fur hides possible uneven seams, and the toy looks great at the same time.


Make a drawing of a pattern on paper or use a ready-made one - download from the Internet or take one you like in any needlework magazine. A soft bear can be of any size, it all depends on the amount of material.

Redraw all parts of the toy onto the fabric. Be sure to make seam allowances when cutting. In places of protrusions and curvatures, it is necessary to make cuts, this will allow you to maintain the correct shape of the product. The number of parts is indicated on the pattern. Items used in additional fabric are marked in yellow.

We connect the parts of the bear in pairs and turn them out onto the front side, leaving a few centimeters unstitched, through which we will stuff the figure. Leave the ears without filler. The tail is not indicated on the pattern. If you really need it, then it is most convenient to cut it out according to the pattern of the ear.

The most difficult thing in the process of making a bear is the head. Follow the lettering - they should match. First, we sew the side halves of the head along the chin line, then we sew the ears along the cut line and, finally, we stitch the middle of the head between these parts from the back of the head to the nose.

Having turned out all the details of the toy with the fur outside, we fill them with padding polyester or cotton wool. Try not to leave voids - place the filler tighter, especially around the head and paws. So, the soft parts of the bear will keep their shape for a long time.

Mark the outlines of the toes on the paws. They can be embroidered with threads or glued on triangles of dark suede fabric. This will give the bear liveliness.

Carefully trim the nose area to make the muzzle look more expressive. Sew on the eyes. We make the embroidery of the floss nose, we sew the mouth. Form the eyelids from light-colored pieces of fabric.

We attach the bear's head to the abdomen and make it movable - for this we use a regular thread spool. We wrap it around with a cloth and place it in the neck area, deepening as much as possible. We will collect the edges of the holes in the head and body of the toy on a strong thread and tighten it tightly. Now the toptygin can look around.

Sew the paws to the body using a thick strong thread. Having threaded it twice in the places where they are combined, pull the thread tight to the desired position of the limbs and fix the ends by removing them inward. This connection method allows the bear to move its paws and sit.

Our soft beauty is ready!

Options and ideas

The bear can be dressed in a jacket and pants - they can also be easily made from colored pieces of fabric. Or just tie a bow.

There are a lot of options for what and how to sew a bear. For example, a toy in the shape of a polar bear will look unusual in the room and complement the decor in an original way. Such a "friend" for little pranksters will be an excellent companion in games.

Little soft inhabitants of children's rooms can be not only plush. Sewing a bear out of felt or dense coarse calico will be an interesting solution. Such a unique gift for a celebration, moreover, made with your own hands, will please any romantic girl.

We will not ignore the well-known Teddy bear. This American toy has become, practically, epoch-making. Today "Teddy" is sold in every toy store and is a constant companion of every third girl you meet on the street. Let's not forget that he is also a friend adored by children.

It is easier to sew your first bear according to the pattern of the classic German bear, invented by the famous company Steiff-Schulte.

Its distinctive features are that the pattern of the bear is erect and has certain body proportions. The entire Teddy bear consists of four, approximately equal parts. One part is the head, two parts are the torso, the upper legs are 1.6 parts, the lower legs are 1.4 parts.

First of all, you need to draw a sketch of the bear, taking into account these proportions and reshape the pattern from it.

The pattern does not include seam allowances (+ 5-7 mm). The bear on this pattern turns out to be about 18 cm.


The next step is to prepare all the materials and tools necessary for us in the process of work:

  • (Helmbold, Article: 150-014) in size 1/16. For the first bear, it is better to choose not thick mohair.
  • 2.0 * 20 mm - for fastening paws 4 pcs and 2.0 * 25 mm - for fastening the head - 2 pcs
  • diameter: 25 mm for the upper legs - 4 pcs, 30 mm - for the lower legs 4 pcs, for the head 25 mm (sewn into the head itself) - 1 pc and 20 mm (for the neck) 1 pc. Total 10 pcs.
  • Washers 12 mm 12 pcs
  • (matte or glossy for your choice) 5 mm - 1 pair
  • Super strong threads for tightening the eyes, sewing threads, threads for embroidery of the nose (you can use a regular floss).
  • Filler: sawdust or synthetic fluff (about 150 g) and a weighting agent - marble chips, coarse quartz sand.
  • : sewing (for seams) and doll (long for tightening and setting eyes)
  • for making holes and straightening the pile
  • Brush and oil paints for tinting
  • You may also need tweezers, pliers

When everything is finally ready, we start the process:

We print and cut out the pattern

Then we translate the details and all the marks onto the fabric, not forgetting to take into account the direction of the pile on the fabric and on the details themselves. Don't forget to add a seam allowance. Cut with sharp small scissors on the seamy side so as not to damage the pile. For ears and paws, you can use a special fur-mini-damask, or you can simply pluck out the pile from our mohair. On the two mirrored parts of the paws, we make marks for the discs.


  • Head - 2 mirrors + wedge (middle part of the head)
  • paws upper 2 inner parts + palms and two outer parts
  • lower paws 4 mirrored + 2 mirrored soles
  • Ear - 4 parts
  • Optional tail!

When using thick fur, you need to cut the pile to the base from the front side along the allowances. Sew the details with a "Back with a needle" seam, with a very small step of about 2 mm, constantly pulling the thread. So that, with dense packing, the seams do not creep out and are invisible.


Let's start sewing the head:

First, we sew all the grooves. Then, with tweezers or tweezers, if desired, pluck out the nap on the nose. After stitching, it will be difficult to pull the pile out of the seams.


After that, we fold the side parts of the head inward with fur and sew the two parts together from the nose to the lower groove (from point 1 to point 2).


Then we sew a wedge into the head. We always sew along the wedge, starting from the mark on the nose, making sure that our darts coincide. Sew one side to the bottom dart.


We proceed to the next side, sew along the wedge from the upper dart to the mark on the nose. Make sure that the curve in the bow matches. Then from the top dart towards the bottom, to the mark where we left the hole for stuffing and turning out. The head is sewn, we go to the body.


First we sew the darts, after that the body, not forgetting to leave the hole for turning out.

Next, we sew the ears, leaving the lower part not sewn up, leaving a long thread. Then turn out the ears and sew the hole at the bottom with a “secret” seam. The thread must still remain, tk. We will sew her ear to the head!

Sew the tail (just like the ears).

Moving on to the upper legs


First we sew on the palms, then we sew the parts, leaving a hole for turning.

Next, we take on the lower legs


We sew from 1 to 2 points. Leave a hole for turning out and sew from 3 to 4 points. We do not sew up the bottom.


We sew in the sole taking into account the marks, we sew along the sole. It is better to "make money" beforehand. Pay attention to the inner part of the sole, it should match the part of the foot where there is a mark for the disc.


Despite the complexity, the sole must be sewn in evenly, without wrinkles.


Now that all the details are sewn, turn it out and go to the stuffing.


The first thing I do is stuff my head. I start with the nose, stuff it very tightly, since then we will make a tightening and embroider the nose. In terms of the density of the stuffing, the head can be compared to a tennis ball. When stuffing, use your fingers to shape your head, not forgetting where you have the bridge of your nose or forehead. Sawdust is very pliable and, unlike synthetic fluff, when stuffed with them, it is easy to "blind" the head of exactly the desired shape.

Very often you can hear that with one pattern completely different bears are obtained, even in size. A lot depends on the stuffing.

I don’t sew up the hole in the head yet. I put my head down and move on to my paws.

Before stuffing the limbs, you need to install a mount in them.


We put the washer on the cotter pin, then the disc. After that, in the paw at the indicated point, make a hole with an awl and insert the resulting structure into this hole. Then, from the outside, we put on the second disk, the washer. With an awl, we spread the tendrils of the cotter pin so that when stuffing the washer is tightly pressed against the fur and sawdust does not fall under it.


Legs (palms and feet) need to be stuffed very tightly, because then we will use a tightening to form the fingers, above the paws you can stuff it softer. It is possible to alternate the filler with a weighting agent when filling the lower legs after filling the feet.

After we have filled the paws, we sew the holes with a blind seam.

Then we start tightening the toes.

We do the markup with pins.


Then, on the back of the palm (foot), we introduce the thread and leave the tail on it, output it at point 1.



Then we insert the needle into the second point behind the seam, and draw it out at point 3, pulling to form a finger. We enter point 4 behind the seam, exit at point 5, tighten. We withdraw the needle to point 6 behind the seam and return it to point 5, tighten and return the thread to the same hole on the back of the palm, where it entered at the beginning. We tie the tails, insert into the thread, insert the needle into the same hole, remove the paws anywhere, pull the thread, hide the knot and cut.


This is what happened, we repeat with all the paws, checking the synchronicity.

The next step is to make out the head.


Take a break, have tea or coffee, and dream about your bear. It is very important with what attitude you take up your bear, and this is how it will turn out.


We attach the ears to the intended place with pins.

Getting down to tightening

We select with the help of positioning eyes (or pins) a place under the eye sockets. We take a super-strong thread and a doll's needle, tie a knot and bring the needle out through the unsewn hole under the positional eye. We make a small stitch (it should be less than the diameter of the eye) and bring the thread through the head into the other eye, the thread is fixed. You can remove the positioning eyes to continue working.

Then, with a stuffing stick, we slightly press down the place where the eye will be, make a small stitch and bring the thread into the other eye, while we begin to pull the thread, as if drawing our eyes to each other. We also "press" the other eye socket and draw the thread back into the opposite eye. We repeat this procedure several times as necessary. We withdraw the remaining thread into the hole.


Then we make the markings with pins and embroider the mouth, draw the thread into the hole with a long pin. We tie the ponytails of the threads from the eyes and nose and cut them off.

Preparing the head mount

We connect two hinged cotter pins, put on a washer, a disc, and one more washer on one cotter pin. Then, using a split screwdriver or pliers, we wrap the antennae. You need 4 washers for the head, on both sides of the disc, otherwise the mount will not swing. We insert the resulting structure into the head. The mount should be in the place of the lower dart. If necessary, add filler under the disc and sew up the head with a blind seam.


If necessary, pluck out the nap on the nose and under the eyes, before installing the eyes.

After that, we take out our eyes, cut off a piece of super-strong thread (about 50 cm) and fold it in bumps. We insert the loop of the thread into the loop of the eye, pass the ends of the thread into the loop of the thread and fix it. Carefully so as not to damage the eye, flatten the eye loop with pliers. We do the same with the second eye.

Once again we check the place with the help of the positional eyes and in this place we make a small hole with an awl. We insert the thread on which the eye is held in a long needle, and we leave the thread down behind the disc, just below the back of the head. As close to the disk as possible. He does the same with the second eye, draw out a thread 2 mm from the thread of the first eye. We ask someone to hold their head or pinch them between the knees and tightly tighten these threads together, tie them with a strong knot. Then we insert the ends of the thread into a long needle, remove these ends in the ear area, pull the thread and deepen the knot from the eyes, cut the threads as close to the head as possible.


After that, all limbs need to be fixed in the body. We start with the lower legs, then the head, then the upper legs.


We remove the washers and discs from the paws, having previously connected the antennae back with pliers. In the body, at the marked points, we make holes with an awl. We insert a cotter pin into the hole, put a disc, a washer on it and twist the antennae with a cotter screw.

Fastening the head: we make a hole with an awl in the area of ​​the upper dart, insert a cotter pin into it, put a washer, a disk and another washer on it, twist the antennae.


After all the limbs are fixed, we begin to stuff the body. We stuff the neck section tightly so that the head "sits" proudly on the body. Stuff the tummy, gently alternating the filler with the weighting agent.

We sew a hole in the back with a blind seam. Sew on the ears and tail with a blind seam.

Moving on to toning


A synthetic brush, with a short nap (can be cut off), dipped in paint, wipe the brush on paper. I use a semi-dry brush to stain the edges of the soles, paws, ears, and tummy. Rub it with a clean wide brush or a toothbrush, making smooth transitions. You can make bald spots in places and pinch the fur.

I plucked the bear's left shoulder and rubbed the hole with a rough sandpaper. She stained the sawdust with paint and darned it.

It turned out here such a beloved kid !!!
