Stuffed animals come in a broad range of shapes and sizes. Some of us have seen the giant, 8-foot Teddy Bears at sale during Christmas time or the tiny frogs and kittens that fit on key-chains and charm bracelets. The Teddy Bear, named after President Theodor Roosevelt, is probably the most famous stuffed animal, but the concept is at least a century older than him. In recent years a number of stuffed animal (AKA plushie, plush toy, soft toy) crazes have hit the American toy market: In malls across the country you can find workshops to make your own stuffed animals, online shoppers were bidding thousands of dollars on bean-filled toys, and one furry plush toy that giggled when you tickled it inspired competition (even violence) on an unimagined scale.
In this free video series, expert Karen Weisman will show you how to make your own stuffed animal, a reversible teddy bear. This little toy has a long history in American homes, switching from a little bear in a dress to a sleeping bear under a blanket. The reversible plushie is two toys in one! Karen will show you how to trace and cut the pattern, how to cut and sew the fabric, and much more. She demonstrates every single step to give you flawless direction. You will see how to stuff the bear, how to trace and cut the clothing, how to sew the pieces together, and how to embroider the faces of the bear. It is all here!
