Hi, I'm Karen for Expert Village. Today we are going to be making this cute little awake/sleep
bear. It is a very traditional toy for little children and they say that it helps inspire
those first words of speech. So here our bear is awake and she says let's play on her dress.
Then you just flip her dress over and you say goodnight little bear and she is in her
little bed. So what we would need to make this cute little toy is first we would start
by making the pattern with two pieces of eight in a half by eleven (8 1/2 x 11) paper. You
would need some stuffing for the bear. You would need some fleecy fabric for the bear
on the outside or you can use a teddy bear fabric also a fuzz. You need a remnants of
a four inch strip of fabric and a couple of other remnants one piece for the blanket side.
Then one piece for the dress, the dress side. So I have chosen these two blues ones. You
may want to have some ribbons and bows something to decorate with. A little bit of embroidery
thread to make the face. Some teddy bear eyes, they come like this with a little clip and
these are nice and safe for little children. You just pop them in and can not really pull
them out. Some needle and thread. Some pins, a little bit of filth to make the patch in
the front to write something in. Of course a pencil, scissors, and a ruler. I think we
have everything let's get going.
