Teddy

Original character - 2023

Process

Teddy is a re-design of a character from the Raggedy Ann musical. I found the pattern at a thrift store and unfortunately can't link it since it was entirely in Russian. But I was able to use the pieces to get an idea of the instructions.

All the fabric is from Re-Claim It and is re-purposed in some way. Their vest is a sock!

Preparing the head based on the patterns

Not in the pattern - adding their green muzzle

They were a very simple pattern to to put together, with the each of the limbs initially sewn and stuffed completely seperate and attached to the body at the end.

A tiny tail

One arm

The limbs are attached with buttons so they pose easily.

Planning out the vest

The vest cut but unhemmed

Their glasses are bent out of a simgle piece of wire. I drew out a simple flat pattern for myself to follow, and bent the ear pieces inward last. They had to be sewn on under the ears to keep them in place.
