Worthwhile

This is the teddy bear making book that I always have out and refer to. Her bear faces are adorable and she shows you how to make all of the detail in the faces. Great color pictures, very detail instructions.

The best teddybear-book I have ever seen

Absolutelly THE best book!! I started to make teddies a year ago and got more and more absorbed... As my interest grew so did my collection of bearmaking-books. Of all my books this one is my absolute favorite. The pictures alone would get you started right away! It describes everything into the smallest detail, gives excellent tips and containes beautiful patterns.

Best for Bearmakers

Bearmaking 101 is an EXCELLENT book. I have been making jointed Teddies for many, many years and I find this book a MUST for any bearmakers complete library. Illustrations are clear. Instructions are easy using both inches and millimeters. She illustrates sizes with phrases such as "using the size of a U.S. nickel". Pictures are brilliant. With this book, you will be making a wonderful bear in no time. Unlike other artists' books, Carol-Lynn Rossel Waugh puts the tools and materials section in the back of the book. Be sure to check this out before you start your bear. Buy THIS book. You won't be sorry
