What’s included

Included is my original teddy sewing pattern (print from home on standard sized printer paper), a course workbook separated into 10 modules, and a 1 hour 20 minute video to help with every step along the way.

About The Design

Inspired by some of the very first teddy bears from over 100 years ago, these teddy bears maintain their historic appearance while incorporating features such as safety eyes and washable wool to bring them into a modern teddy bear world.

skill level

Confident beginners – intermediate sewists will have the skill level needed to make these bears. A visual glossary is included at the beginning of the course to go over any techniques you may or may not be familiar with.

materials needed

High quality, natural materials are suggested for these bears. These bears can be made with a variety of fabrics, but mohair really gives a special look to your teddy. Some other materials, such as safety joints and safety eyes, are needed as well.

What You’ll Need

Fabric

Allow 1/2 yard of fabric for this bear. Mohair is highly recommended. A small amount of felt should be used for the paws.

Notions

Some notions will be required to make these bears, such as 45mm safety joints, safety eyes, and embroidery floss for the nose.

Wool

Wool is the suggested fiberfil to use for these bears. Allow for at least 1lb of wool, the more the better.

The extras

There are a few optional items that will really enhance your bears, such as beeswax thread conditioner, a chalk pencil for tracing, and cotton fusible interfacing. Short 5″ sewing shears are also highly recommended.

Why do I need this in my life?

  • I speak to the confident beginner. The course walks through every step and technique in a clear, simple way so you’re never guessing what to do next. With my visual sewing glossary, you’ll learn every technique for HOW to make your bear.
  • Self-paced and stress-free. You can follow along on your own time, pause when needed, and go at a pace that feels comfortable. Watch the course video from the comfort of your couch, then keep the workbook handy next to you while you sew.
  • You get a complete system. With my mini course, you’re not just stuck with a pattern and some guesswork. I make sure you are fully equipped to make these bears, with a clear and polished pattern, course workbook, and a video to follow along with every step.
  • Step-by-step means fewer mistakes. Each stage is broken down so you don’t waste time fixing errors or redoing pieces. I’ve tested numerous different techniques and assembly methods — you’re truly getting the best roadmap possible.
  • Professional looking results, even as a beginner. The workbook and video show you the small details that make a big difference in how your teddy bear turns out.
  • You’ll actually finish the bear. A lot of people start sewing projects and never complete them. This course is structured to help you finish with a result you’re proud of.
  • Meaningful, memorable gifts. Teddy is something far more personal than store-bought, and you can reuse the pattern over and over again.
  • Learn skills that you can carry beyond this mini course. You’re not just making a teddy bear, you’re building foundational toymaking sewing skills you can apply to future projects.

Embracing The Original Teddy

Inspired by early 20th-century teddy bears, this pattern captures traditional shaping and character while incorporating modern updates for strength and longevity. My goal was to create a teddy bear that carries the same classic charm as those from generations past. I wanted a teddy that could still capture hearts today, just as it did over 100 years ago.
