My mother spent time in a TB hospital conveyancing and filled her time making toys and handicrafts. After she died, I discovered a box of cardboard patterns made from cereal boxes and held together with string and safety pins. No instructions.
Piran the Polar comes out of this box and once I had worked out how to make him, I updated the design to make it my own.

Piran the Polar Bear
Learn to create this beautiful soft felt Polar Bear, standing 280mm / 11 ins high.
There is something wonderful about a handmade toy. They become keepsakes and treasures for the future. These toys can stay with a child for years. Just like my very own Pinocchio toy made by my father which is a bit threadbare now but a treasured possession.
This project could be a good starting point to start creating your own simple toys.
Or
Why not make this with a young sewer? They will increase their skill levels and have good fun in the process. I encourage you to put your own finishing touches to your bear so that your Polar bear is completely unique.
PDF file Includes:
- 17 pages of colourful step-by-step, easy-to-follow, detailed and well-illustrated sewing steps.
- Template sheets at A4 size which need to be printed at full size or 100% and cut out with scissors
- A list of supplies required
- A list to create your basic tool kit.
The instruction takes you through the materials, tools and equipment you will need to complete your very own Piran the Polar Bear. It goes on to demonstrate through text and photographs each step you need to follow to be successful.
You will need a basic Sewing Machine and the ability to create simple hand-sewing embroidery stitches.
Skill Level: advanced beginner / intermediate sewer.
Happy Sewing
