TEDDY
An original design
created by Pauline McArthyr 2005

Finished Toy Size:
33cm/13inches
Honey is one of the simplest and cutest teddy patterns around.
With her slightly knocked knees and cute little bottom in the
air, she is simply adorable.
As you make her, you will learn the basics of how to make your
own soft toys and pick up a few tips & tricks to make it easy
and fun!
One fat quater of QUILTING FABRIC/COTTON is enough
to make one teddy. (55cm wide x 45cm)
I love making my teddies from FLEECE as it makes them
so cuddly! You can use any type of fleece, as well as other
stretch fabrics eg. minky, cuddle, velour, chenille and
flannelette.
Specific Requirements :
Caramel fleece (or cotton fabric) - 55cmx45cm/ 22inchx18inch.
12mm(1/2inch) beads, buttons, craft eyes or embroidery thread.
Pink embroidery cotton for the nose.
Strong thread for sewing on eyes.
Ribbon - 70cm/ 28inches.

General Requirements :
General sewing supplies (thread, pins, needles,scissors, etc).
Craft glue & firm card for templates.
Fine tipped permanent marker pen.
Toy stuffing.

Glue the pattern pages

onto card or thick paper
and cut out the pattern
pieces to make your
templates.
Lay the fabric right side
down with the grain/pile
running down towards
45cm/18 inches

you.

Place your templates onto

the wrong side of the
fabric making sure the
arrows point towards you.
Trace the templates
lightly with a permanent
marker. (Be careful not to
press too hard or the ink
will smudge and may
even show through your 55cm/22 inches
fabric on the right side.)
= reversed
Cut ALL of your pieces
out of caramel coloured
fabric.

 Let’s get
sewing...

Always sew the fabric pieces with the right side of the fabric together, UNLESS the
instructions tell you to do something different.

A 5mm(¼inch) seam is included so you will sew 5mm(¼inch) INSIDE the lines you traced.
Do not add on a seam allowance UNLESS the instructions say so!

Look at each pattern piece - the dashed line on the pattern piece is a useful guide to show
you the FIRST seam you will sew on each piece.

Sew the SNOUT PIECE to the FRONT HEAD PIECE from A – B, matching the 3 dots of the
pattern markings.

Sew 2 EAR PIECES together, turn right side out. Do the same for the other ear.
Sew the BACK HEAD PIECES together from C – D.

Pin the ears in position on the FRONT HEAD PIECE, then sew the BACK HEAD PIECES
to the FRONT HEAD PIECE at the side seam. Sew from E – D and then down the other side
of the head – E.

Fold the snout at F so you can sew the SNOUT, FRONT HEAD and BACK HEAD PIECES
closed from F - (sew past A/B) - E - G.

pattern pieces can get a bit
TUMMY PIECE confusing!

Sew the TAIL PIECES together, turn right sides out.

Place a little bit of toy stuffing in the tail.

Place the tail in position, using the pattern markings to guide you.

Sew the TOP BODY PIECES together from L - M, with the tail in between them.

Sew the ARM PIECES together. Remember to leave the gap open for stuffing the arms.

Turn the arms right side out.

Sew one INNER LEG to one OUTER LEG PIECE and repeat for the other leg.
Remember to leave the gap open for stuffing the legs.

Turn the legs right side out.

Place the TUMMY PIECE with the fabric right sides UP.

Pin one arm and one leg in position on one side of the TUMMY PIECE, then pin the
other arm and leg on the other side. (I find it is easier to pin one side at a time).

Make sure the ‘toes’ of the LEG PIECE are facing/ touching the table.

Pin the TOP BODY PIECES to the TUMMY PIECE, with the arms and legs pushed
inside.(Roll them up nice and tight!)

Sew the TOP BODY PIECES to the TUMMY PIECE, from N – L - N, remember to leave
a gap open on one side, between one of the arms and legs so you can turn your teddy
for stuffing!

Pin then sew the head to the body at the neck seam, with right sides together, matching
point G. (I find it’s easiest to turn the head right sides out first, then place it facing into
the body when you pin and sew the neck seam.)

Push the head back out of the body and sew the Teddy closed along the top of the TOP
BODY PIECES and BACK HEAD PIECES.

Turn your Teddy right sides out through the gap left on one side.

If you are using craft eyes, insert them now before you stuff your teddy. If you are using
buttons or beads for eyes, you will sew them on when Teddy’s head is stuffed! (Do not use
beads, buttons or craft eyes for children under 3 years old, it is safer to embroider the eyes.)

Stuff the head with toy stuffing.

Embroider the nose with pink embroidery thread, using satin stitch to form an upside-down
triangle. If you find stitching evenly is too difficult, you can sew or glue a piece of pink felt
in position for the nose.

Fill the body, arms and legs with toy stuffing and sew up the openings on Honey’s side, arms
and legs using a ladder stitch.
