I found this book too cutesy and I found it difficult to figure out the extra ideas. Not for me!

This is a wonderful book for anyone who enjoys stitching teddy bears. The designs are very high quality and the charts are large and in full colour so are easy to follow. There are a range of designs, both traditional and modern, large and small. There are photographs of all the finished designs so you can see what they look like when completed.

For each design the book details the stitch count and design size, along with a list of materials you will need to make up the finished item. There are a wide range of finishing ideas for projects, with full instructions for everything from aprons to hot water bottle covers.

There is a lovely introduction to each section of the book and there are also teddy bear facts scattered throughout the book, which gives it an added interest to teddy bear lovers.


In short, this book offers a wide range of teddy bear designs with clear charts and instructions. If you like stitching teddy bears this is the book for you!
