Many people give teddy bears to children, especially if they belong to their own family, but it is quite rare for them to be sewn by the person giving the gift.If you feel like putting your sewing skills to work, you can give this toy a personal touch and offer it with love to someone special.

Method 1

Method 1 of 2:

Use a Sock

Smooth it so that the back is facing up.This should create a crease at the heel.
Draw a circle on the end of the sock using the curve from the toe as the base.Add ears to the top of the circle to make the outline of the teddy bear's head.This part should take up no more than a quarter of the length of the sock.Cut the fabric along the line of the ears.Once you're done, cut a piece of fabric at the base of the circle to create a hole for the neck.
Just above the heel there is a tube-shaped fabric, which usually covered the ankle when wearing the sock.Measure the sock from the curve where the heel ends to the top edge:carefully, cut this part in half.Then, cut the final sock piece in half lengthwise to get the arms.Make a small cut in the bottom half of the remaining piece until you reach the base of the heel.This will help form the body and paws of the teddy bear.

Fill and sew the head. Turn the head inside out and close the top with the sewing machine or by hand.Once finished, turn the fabric inside out and fill the head with stuffing.Sew the neck together once you have the desired size for the head.
- You can buy typical stuffing for teddy bears at a store that sells craft supplies.If you don't want to, you can use cotton balls or scraps.
Turn the body inside out and sew the legs with a sewing machine or by hand.Once finished, turn them over and stuff the body.Sew the neck once you have reached the desired size.
Sew the head to the body using a running stitch or saddle stitch.
If you haven't done this before, cut the final piece into two parts to create the arms.Sew them partially closed and then stuff them.Once you are happy with the result, attach them to the body.
At this point you will have a new stuffed animal friend.You can sew on puppet eyes and create noses with embroidery thread.

Cut out four shapes similar to rabbit ears:they will form the arms.Sew two pieces together using a machine or simple stitch of your choice to create each arm.Leave an opening at the final edge for stuffing.
Repeat the previous step by cutting out slightly larger shapes to create the legs.You can adjust the shape of the paws to get the bear you have in mind:for example, he might sit.
Draw a profile (side view) of the garment suitable for the teddy bear you want to create.Cut out two pieces of this shape.Then, sew them together from neck to nose.
Cut this center piece to fit between the two garment pieces you have already cut out and sewn.Draw a shape similar to a men's tie, it should be long enough to be sewn between the tip of the nose and the back of the neck.You will need to align it with the neck and secure it with a pin before sewing it on.
Once you have drawn and cut out the figure, sew the piece of fabric in the correct place, between the existing head pieces.
Now you just need to make this part.Start with two pieces of fabric cut into rectangles.Make rounded cuts on each corner.Sew the sides together on the longer edges, so you end up with a sort of tube.Next, sew one of the shorter edges closed, leaving the circular cutouts open.The arms and legs will be joined to the body thanks to these rounded corners.
You can help yourself with a pencil.Turning the pieces hides the seams you will make.
8
Stuff and attach the head. Fill the piece and sew it to the upper body, on the short open end.
- Some pieces of the padding may move towards the body:it's not a problem.
Sew both arms in the area of the upper circular cutouts.Sew a leg in a similar way, but leave the last one unattached.Stuff the teddy bear and then sew the last leg.
Cut out the ears, creating a half-circle-like figure.Fold it in half and then attach the ears to the head.
Add details (like a nose and mouth) with embroidery thread or buttons.
12
Create eyes with buttons. At this point, you can define the muzzle.If you want, use buttons, or buy eyes for stuffed animals at a store that sells craft supplies.
- Embroidered eyes are preferable for younger children, who tend to put everything in their mouth.
Take care of it or give it to someone you love.
