Making Teddy Bears: Projects, Patterns, History, Lore

By Paige Gilchrist

Teddy Bear's a century old! Celebrate by looking back at his long life, enjoying teddy trivia, viewing bear paraphernalia, and making one to hug and love. Here's the original cartoon that inspired the toy, as well as the first bear on the market. A design timeline shows its evolution in shape, design, color, and sometimes dress. But, the charming pice de resistance is the parade of project bears, divided into three sections: single pattern pieces like Fuzzy Wuzzy Snuggle; medium level ones like Autumn Ted, Honey; and jointed models, like Homer and Bumble.
