Teddy Bear

(PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE FROM MISULGA.WP!)

I am supposed to be studying now, but I found the pictures in my computer and I decided to just do one post.  Just one!  Although I’ve been hooked on to this machine like an addiction.

Here’s introducing the TEDDY BEAR ♥  After reading this post, many of you will probably realise it’s not as difficult as you thought to sew up a teddy bear!  Same goes for any plushies.  What’s important is really the pattern.

In my case, I did not do up the pattern on my own!  I came across a DIY set in Minitoons and bought it (:   When I saw the set in Minitoons, I immediately bought it because I had so many ideas running through my head!  As soon as I got home, I opened it up and embarked on sewing my first teddy bear.

That’s the completed head!  Without the face details, that is.  And if you’re wondering, it isn’t very big!  I’m holding it between two fingers!

Rest of the body parts, not assembled, yet!  The 2 hearts actually have my friend’s and my name on them to be inserted on the body (ala build-a-bear) but they were too big ):

Pinned (ouch?) together, ready to be stitched up!  (:  Time for me to get his clothes done!  The set did come with some t-shirt and shorts patterns but they were to be made with felt and I didn’t quite dig that idea.  Instead, I bought my own materials from spotlight and played around designing patterns till I got what I wanted!

A plain white tee!  The neck area was still raw when I took this picture.  Yet to hem it.

Net up I designed a orange hoodie!  I really love this hoodie because it turned out really cute ♥  Designing it saw me taking my own hoodies and carefully examining how they were stitched up.  There’s a little button-like thing (what are they called?) at the bottom so the hoodie can be unbuttoned!  Also, there’s a hood and I cut two small holes so that the ears of the bear can go through it.

The outer jacket!  You can see the hood of the orange hoodie here (:  This is the jacket without the details sewed on.  Also, in the background, you can see the picture of Alexander (from U-Kiss – who I gave the bear to) which I modelled the attire of the bear after.  I also gave it red pants made of felt.  Not exactly the best quality but it was temporary!

The details of the jacket.  As you can see, the jacket looks raw.  That’s because I had to re-do the white layer, so that I could sew on the blue layer properly.  I didn’t quite take pictures at every step so this is all I have ><  The white material frayed really badly and gave me a huge headache!  Eventually I gave up and glued down the fraying ends on the inside with my trusty UHU glue and that worked wonders.

Tadah~!  I gave it a face!  And jeans, too.  But it’s not complete yet…

He had a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunnies on his tee neck in the MV so I made one!  It’s resting on my finger, that’s how tiny it is!  I made the lenses out of clear plastic and used felt + wire + glue to do the rest of the sunnies.  Then I clipped it on to the bear’s shirt, like how we would on ours (;

The final look!  Stringed a dogtag with Alexander’s name on it around its neck and it’s ready to go off to Korea…

But we worried that it’ll get hungry (haha) so I sewed some miniature dimsum and put it in the box with it!  My computer refuses to let me upload the photos, though!

Doing this post took me more time than expected so I have to scurry off to bed soon!  Goodnight ^^
