Description

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. :)

Instructions

  1. Small img 1448

    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.

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