Teddy Bear Snooker Player

Waistcoat, Bowtie & Cue for a teddy

About

three of my favourite things; teddy bears, sewing and snooker.

i based this on an old waistcoat for the teddy but drew the shapes freehand, and kinda just went for the shape that looked best. :)

You Will Need (8 things)

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Black & Blue Felt Tip Pen
  • Hack Saw
  • Black & colour for back Fabric
  • Scissors
  • Needle And Thread Or Sewing Machine
  • Button(s)
  • Elastic

Steps (6 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    Firstly saw the spoon head off the wooden spoon and file so that it's nice and smooth.

  2. 2

    Next using the black felt tip pen (or paint - i actually used eyeliner) draw the cue markings. i used google for help. I painted the tip with blue nail varnish, but again paint/eyeliner/felt tip would work the same.

  3. 3

    Next i made the bow tie; measure the size you want and add a bit extra for the seams. make a rectangle , fold in half along the long length, sew along the edges (because it's so mall, i didn't turn mine inside out, but you can do). wrap a thin strip of material round the middle and sew down to make the bow shape.

  4. 4

    Next i measured the elastic to fit round the bears neck, sewed it together and attached the bow tie.

  5. 5

    I forgot to take photos of making the waistcoat, but it's fairly simple. cut the shapes out; somewhat like those shown in the photo. hem the edges, and sew together leaving arm holes.

  6. 6

    finally i added a button and button hole to the front. :)
