#Free memory bear sewing patterns how to

Pin and sew the bear closed at the back from Y вЂ“ K on the BACK HEAD PIECE continue on to Z on the BACK PIECES, leaving the gap open for turning. Pull the HEAD back out of the body so the PIECES are wrong sides out again. TIP: I find the best way to do this is to turn the HEAD right sides out and position it вЂinside the bodyвЂ™ so you can pin the pieces together at the neck seam, and sew them with the fabric right sides together. (Pin the FACE, SIDE HEAD&BACK HEAD PIECES to the TUMMY&BACK PIECES.) Pin and sew the head to the body at the neck seam. Sew TUMMY and BACK PIECES together from X вЂ“ W and the OUTER ARM darts closed from W- V. Continue pinning the TUMMY and BACK PIECES together between W вЂ“ X. Pin and sew the OUTER ARM PIECES to the TUMMY, BACK & INNER ARM PIECES matching points W, U, T and W on the other side.ДЇold and pin the OUTER ARM darts closed between V and W (fabric right sides together). It makes it much easier to pin the pieces together correctly!!! ***DONвЂ™T MISS THIS VERY IMPORTANT STEP!*** T urn the body and legs wrong sides out so the INNER ARM PIECES вЂflopвЂ™ out of the TUMMY&BACK PIECES, at the sides. TIP: This is a hard seam to sew, so use lots of pins and take it slow! STEP 23 Sew the INNER ARM PIECES to the TUMMY&BACK PIECES with the INNER ARMS down. (PLEASE NOTE* The INNER ARM PIECE does NOT ***THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP!*** Pin the INNER ARM PIECES to the TUMMY&BACK PIECES, matching point U, S and T. Pin and sew the FOOT PAD PIECES to the INNER&OUTER LEG PIECES, matching point R and P. Sew the TUMMY& INNER LEG PIECES to the BACK PIECES& OUTER LEG at the sides from R вЂ“ S on each side. Sew the TUMMY&INNER LEG PIECES to the BACK& OUTER LEG PIECES at the bottom from P вЂ“ G вЂ“ P. Sew the OUTER LEG PIECES to the BACK PIECES from N вЂ“ O. Sew the INNER LEG PIECES to the TUMMY PIECE from H вЂ“ J.ДЇold and pin the BACK PIECES with the fabric right sides together and sew the back darts as shown on the pattern markings. Sew the TUMMY PIECES together along the center seam from F вЂ“ G. * Put the HEAD aside while you sew the BODY. Sew the FOREHEAD&FACE PIECES to the BACK HEAD&SIDE HEAD PIECES with the EARS in between.ДЇold and pin the SIDE HEAD PIECES with the fabric right sides together and sew the side head darts as shown on the pattern markings.

Sew the other SIDE HEAD PIECE to the BACK HEAD PIECE from D вЂ“ E, on the other side. Sew one of the SIDE HEAD PIECES to the BACK HEAD PIECE from D вЂ“ E. ( see the black arrow in the photo below). *Line up the edge of the EAR with the face seam Pin the EARS to the FACE PIECES, using the pattern markings to guide you with the placement. Trim the seam allowance of the EAR PIECES to 3mm (1/8 inch) and turn the EARS right sides out. Sew the EAR PIECES together in pairs, leaving the straight edge open. If you are using craft eyes, insert them now. Sew the FOREHEAD PIECE to the FACE PIECES with the FOREHEAD PIECE facing down so you can smooth out any вЂwrinklesвЂ™ in the FACE PIECES as you sew.ДЇold and pin the FACE PIECES with the fabric right sides together and sew the face darts as shown on the pattern markings. TIP: Use lots of pins so the pieces wonвЂ™t slip as you sew this seam. Pin the FOREHEAD PIECE to the FACE PIECES, matching point A. TIP: Clip all the seams very well if you use interfacing because it creates a lot of extra bulk in the seams. * I have used a dark pink thread in my photo tutorial so you can see my stitching but I recommend using a matching thread or plain white if you have lots of different fabrics. Iron the interfacing pieces onto the fabric of the clothing items, with the STICKY (GLUE) side facing the BACK of the fabric.Д¬ut the pieces out accurately on the traced lines. Roughly cut out the pieces adding about 3mm (1/8 inch) around them.

To line the pieces, trace all the pieces (including all the вЂreversed piecesвЂ™) onto the smooth (NON-STICKY) side of the iron-on interfacing. Lots of different items of pre-loved baby clothes! You can use one main fabric from a single item of clothing for most of the pieces and use another contrast fabric for the EAR and FOOT PAD PIECESвЂ¦ but I prefer to create a вЂpatchworkвЂ™ effect by usingвЂ¦
