Bear Pattern: Snow White

Misty just loves having fun! His sculptured face and inset eyes add to his cheeky expression. Created from cream-coloured mohair this

firmly-filled ted is fully posable and looks great sitting or standing. When finished Misty stands at 30cm (12”) tall and will complement any

collection. This pattern requires some intricate detailing and is suitable for bear makers of an intermediate level. If you start sewing today this

delightful cub could soon be part of your cherished hug.itional charm

5. Stuff the head firmly, paying particular attention to the nose. Only fill the

rest of the head when you’re happy with this part. Push the neck joint into

the opening of the neck, then with strong double thread, put running

stitches along the bottom. Pull tightly and secure well. Check the shape of

the head then use your thumbs to push in the fabric where you wish to

place the eyes. Use glass-headed pins as a guide, then using an awl make

holes for their position. To fix the eyes you will need a long doll-makers

needle and very long, strong, double thread. Place the needle through from

the back of the head at the neck, up and out at the eye hole. Thread it

through the loop and back into the eye again coming out about 5mm away

from where you started. You should now have four long threads hanging at

the neck. Pull and tie them very tightly so that the eye sinks into the head

making a socket.

7. Sew the ear pieces and turn. Over sew at the raw edges and place the

ears onto the head with pins. Take your time and make sure they are even.

Attach them to the head with ladder stitch. Embroider a square-shaped nose

with a long needle or a thin darner. Thread with black cotton perle and tie a

knot. Start at the centre of the nose and pull the knot through the packing

until it disappears, the satin stitch to form its shape.

YOU WILL NEED

• 1/4 metre of mohair

• Matching ultra-suede for the pads

• Five sets of 36mm cotter-pin joints

• One pair of 9mm glass eyes on loops

• Black perle cotton for nose and claws

• Filling

• Long doll-makers needle

8. Joint the bear using cotter-pins and hardboard discs. Use an awl to pierce

the body at the joint positions and turn the body right side out. Place a

cotter-pin, disc and washer into the arm and out at the hole. Put the joint

through the hole in the body then add another disc and washer. Using long-

nosed pliers open the pins then grab one side and curl round to make the

joint tight.

STEP BY STEP

1. Transfer all the pattern pieces onto thin card. Note the direction of the

pile and mark all the necessary holes and openings. Ensure that the pile of

the fabric is running in the right direction and lay all the pieces on to the

back of the fabric. Mark round each piece with a fine felt tip or biro. Cut

around each shape using small pointed scissors being careful to only cut the

backing.

9. Now you can begin stuffing. Fill the arms fairly firmly making sure that

there are no lumps or holes, then sew up each opening with ladder stitch.

Finally give you Misty a gentle brush and lots of love!

TIPS

• Trim around all the pieces, about half a 1cm (1/4”), before sewing up to

ensure smooth seams.

• Chop sticks make excellent stuffing tools.

• Don’t be afraid to draw sewing guide lines, especially around the foot

pads and nose.

2. When all the pieces are cut out, take the two body halves and pin and

sew the dart in each side. Pin and sew the two halves, leaving an opening at

the neck and back. Next take each leg in turn and fold it in half with right

sides together. Pin and sew leaving an opening for the joint. Fold the foot

pad in half lengthways and mark on the top and bottom of the pad on the

inside of the fabric. Use these pen marks to place the pad inside the foot at

the toe and the heel, then gently ease the sides in pushing the fur in as you

go. Slowly hand or machine sew the pad into place. Turn and check that

both pads are the same shape.

4. Pin and sew the paw pads to the arms at points C and D then fold the

arm in half inside out. Pin and sew the arms all the way round, leaving a

gap for the joint and stuffing. Place the two sides of the head right sides

together. Pin and sew from points A at the nose to X at the neck. Then take

the gusset, fold it in half lengthways and mark the centre of the nose. Place

this mark on to the seam of the two sides, and pin to keep in place. Sew the

head in two halves, from the nose to neck each side. Turn the right way and

check the overall shape. It is very important that the seam running down

the chin is central.
