Closing your Teddy Bear’s Arms, Legs and Back

When you make teddy bears and other stuffed animals, you have to leave an opening in the arms, legs and the back of the teddy bear so you can stuff him and assemble him.  When you are all done putting your teddy together and stuffing him,  then you need to close up the seams.  Here is how I close the seams of my stuffed animals with an invisible ladder stitch.

How to Hand Sew Your Teddy Bear

Do you have to use a sewing machine when making teddy bears?  No!  You can sew your teddy bear entirely by hand.  Although I usually use a combination of machine sewing and hand sewing to stitch my teddy bears, sometimes I will sew the entire bear by hand.  I find hand sewing to be very relaxing.  It is easy to take along your teddy bear sewing projects on trips when you sew by hand too!

Below is part of the Teddy Bear Ornament class which is available inside of Teddy Bear Academy.  This part will show you how to sew by hand.  Enjoy!
