How to Sew a Teddy Bear Together

Hi, I'm Karen for Expert Village. Now we are going to sew our bear body together. First, I want to slice a hole in the back that we are going to use for the stuffing. So take the back bear section this is the front bear section is the one that we embroider on. The back bear section is plain and just fold it in half. Slice about a inch into there. So you have a two inch slice on the back and that is what we would use that hole for when we want to stuff the bear. Now look for the outside of the fabric. This fabric does have that inside and outside. You want to put the bears together, the bear sections together. With the outside facing each other so I have the inside of the bear facing on the outside. They call this right side together. So this is the right side of the bear and this is the right side of the back of the bear. So we would sandwich them together like that and just match it up the best that you can. We would use a few pins to hold it in place and then we would put it on the sewing machine and sew all the way around the whole bear. Now if you don't have a sewing machine you can do this by hand. You would just go for a simple stitch all the way around the bear. We are going to be using a quarter inch seam allowance. You don't need a big seam allowance here so just one quarter inch away from the fabric. I'm just going to put in lots of pins so that it holds together nicely in place as I'm sewing. If you don't use enough pins the fabric can shift while you are sewing and it is not as neat.
