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. :)

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

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.

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.

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

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.
