Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Karen for Expert Village. Let's continue making our bear pattern. Our next dot is going to be placed three eighths of a inch up from our last dot. One, two, three and place a dot right there. Okay our next, dot will be placed at three and a half inches just draw a light line at three and a half inches. Then coming over from the side it is going to be two and a quarter inches. Just make a dot where those two lines intersect. Three and a half inches from the bottom and two and a quarter inches from the side. We would work our way up our next dot would be one and three quarter inches from the side. Draw a little line there and then one inch from the top and place the dot right there. So we have one and three quarter inches from the side and one inch from the top. Our last dot would be placed at one inch from the folded edge at the top and three eighths inch from the top. Now you have a piece of paper th folded piece of paper with several dots and now I would show you how to make the pattern. So first start at the lowest dot and we are going to draw the arm. So go straight and then curve right by the bottom. So you are going to come straight, straight, and then about a half a inch from the edge you would begin to curve and curve all the way down to the bottom of the page. The next line we will go straight up to the small dot just a straight line up. Our next line after that we are going to join this dot and this dot with a curve. So with a outward curve. This is the head of the bear. So make a curve like that. Now the next curve is going to be the ear and we are going to join these three dots. This dot, this dot, and this dot we are going to join in one big curve for the ear. You are going to bring your line up to the top and then curve down. Now you can see we are having a shape of a quarter of a bear. Then our last line would be a small curve from this dot from the center. Just hardly even a curve just a very slight curve and that is the top of the head. Now when you have the pattern all drawn out you just want to cut that out. While it is still folded in quarters. We would just cut that pattern out and that would be our pattern for the bear. (cutting out pattern) When you open it up you would see that you have kind of a funny looking thing. But that is the pattern for the bear we would have the one awake we are going to embroider a face for a wake bear and then when you flip it over you have a face for a sleep bear. Next, we are going to be cutting out our fabric. "
