How to Make a Teddy Bear From Old Clothes
- 1). Cut the old clothing apart at the seams by cutting on each side of the seam and discarding. Lay the fabric out so the right side (front side) of the fabric is facing out and the grain of the fabric is on a vertical axis.
- 2). Cut out the teddy bear pattern. Pin it to the fabric so the pattern follows the grain. Look at the individual instructions for each teddy bear pattern to ensure each piece is pinned on the fabric correctly. Cut out each pattern piece.
- 3). Follow the instructions on the teddy bear pattern for pinning and sewing. Turn the teddy bear right side out when complete.
- 4). Stuff the teddy bear to the desired firmness. Sew the opening shut. Sew the eyes, nose and mouth into place.
