SEWING DETAILS
• Sew the head to the body. Advice from the author: mark with markers in front the middle of the hole on the head and on the body;
we take a thread, thread each end into a separate needle, start sewing from the middle (where we marked with markers) and move the corresponding needle to the left and right. So both needles will meet at the back exactly in the middle, and the head will be sewn symmetrically to the body. As you sew, stuff the neck area so that the head does not outweigh and fall.
• Sew arms and legs with cotton/semi-cotton thread in 4 (or more) additions, as shown in the picture. This fastening is called button. Long needle with thread
we pass through the body at the attachment point of one arm / leg, go out at the attachment point of the second arm / leg, string the arm / leg onto the needle, then string the button and return through the same hole to the initial hole, string the second arm / leg, then the button and again through hand.
We tie the ends of the thread into several knots and hide the thread in the body.
• We sew a tail on the back so that our bear can sit and the tail does not interfere with him. This is approximately between 5 and 10 rows.
That’s all! Your long-legged bear is ready!
You can tie him a scarf or add other accessories.
