Customer Reviews

Well written book, very clear instruction, I am buying another

I have made lots of teddy bears and I wish I had found this book years ago when I first started making bears. It not only tells you how to do something but also shows you in detail. I have always wanted to use flex joints and now thanks to this book I now know how to do it. It is written by someone who knows what they are talking about and I am buying another book just in case I ever loose the one, I just bought. I can't praise this book enough and I would tell any one to buy it. Starting from a person who wants to learn to make their first teddy bear to someone like myself who has made quite a few bears. It will help me to make even better quality bears and improve on the techniques I use now, to purchase this book, it is well worth the price. I have been looking for a book like this since I first started making bears. Thank You

An excellent "how-to" book for aspiring teddy bear artists.

This book is a "must-have" for the beginner and more experienced teddy bear makers' library. There is a large selection of adorable patterns, easy instructions and good quality color photographs. I highly recommend this book if you are serious about making professional looking teddy bears. Everything you need to know in one comprehensive book, plus artist tips and even a bit of Teddy trivia to keep things interesting.

a beginners look

I have just compleated my first bear from a mcalls pattern and this book is so far the easyist to understand that I have found matter a fact I am probably going to buy it today so I can find new ways of making my bears

A good source of information.

This is a well put together book on how to make bears, for a novice as well as a person who has made a few bears. The patterns have a skill rating and I especially liked the artist tips that accompany each pattern. Just what the teddy bear fans need, more patterns to play with.
