The library= a source for teddy bear books!
My good friend Donna used to work in the local library. She told me she was going one day last week and I asked her to check if they had any books about making teddy bears. She brought me two to look at! What a wonderful surprise!
One book wasn’t what I was looking for at all. It didn’t have enough information to make it worthwhile looking at. The other one was wonderful. It even had some patterns that the author informed the reader could be copied as she had made special arrangements with her publisher for the readers to do just that. I copied 2 of the patterns (there were 4 in the book). I haven’t had the chance to cut out a new bear (it’s spring and the garden and flower beds need more attention than any sewing right now). I do intend to try some of the new patterns I have gotten. I am excited by the knowledge I had gained and will be sharing it in the future with my readers. I need to try out these things to make sure they work for the amateur bear makers like me!
So, I suggest if you don’t have a lot of spare cash laying around, go to your local library and see if there are any teddy bear making books in the craft section. I wish you much luck in doing this. It never hurts to ask!
