This video teddy bear workshop will show you how to make Rocko, a 4" miniature fully jointed mohair bear.
Don't have a sewing machine? Don't let that stop you! This workshop will show you how to hand sew your teddy bear with detailed video instruction. (It can be sewn by machine if you prefer)
In this streaming video class I will show you step by step how to cut out, hand sew, insert disc and pin joints, stuff and close the limbs, stuff the head, stitch the nose, insert the eyes, attach the ears and add your finishing touches.
Any time - day or night. You have access to your class 24/7, as long as your membership is current. The class is layed out in a weekly format, but you can go as slowly or as quickly as you like.
You can take this video class and all of the other classes inside Teddy Bear Academy when you join here.
