Wonderful Book .....a teddy-bear maker's dream!,
By L. Munnell (Jacksonville, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whimsical Teddy Bears: 15 Patterns & Design Techniques (Creative Crafters) (Paperback)
The bears designed by the author as stated in the book's title are indeed very whimsical and could be summed up in one word UNIQUE! Neysa shares secrets of bear-making from herself and other artists. These alone prove very helpful. However, the listing that shows suppliers for EVERYTHING you could possibly need concerning bear-making is an incredible "tool" and timesaver. It is SO frustrating when you're in the middle of putting a bear together, realize you're out of a certain size, etc. and now with this new listing, you can IMMEDIATELY find your supplier to place a quick re-order in moments. So much of the hard work to find suppliers has been done for you. Neysa's patterns "turn into" bears with LOTS of personality! The instructions are easy-to-follow. You'll also enjoy getting to know the artist through "meeting" her creations/designs. Bear-making can be very rewarding. Making one of Neysa's creations will definitely bring a smile to your face! Enjoy!

I purchased this book for new ideas in the stuffed animal area. It seems to be a repeat of tried and true bear making. I was looking for something more original. It is a good book for the first time or beginner bear maker. Most of the patterns were easy to replicate and sew, but you definitely need sewing experience to take advantage of what this book has to offer. Good value.
