Sewing Directions:
Place bear fabric right sides together and pin pattern to wrong side of fabric.
Cut out fabric and pattern on solid line. Cut out 2 bear bodies and 4 ears.
Trace eyes, nose and mouth onto bear front. Embroider using a tiny back stitch and 2 strands of
embroidery floss.
Reduce your stitch length on your sewing machine between 1.5 to 2.0. (The smaller stitch length makes
for smoother curves.) Place 2 ears together and stitch on - - - - line leaving bottom of ear open. Back
stitch at beginning and end. Repeat for second ear.
Turn ears right side out. Make a pleat at the bottom of ear between marks, and pin in place.
With right sides together, pin bear front to bear back, inserting ears at marks. (Ears face in towards the
center of the bear and the raw edges are even with the seam allowance.) Sew around bear leaving open
between marks on pattern. Back stitch at beginning and end.
Turn bear right side out, and gently poke out curves.
Stuff bear lightly and slip stitch opening closed.
Tie a bow at neck if desired.
Give your new little Beary Bear a hug!
