Stanford 50cm Printed Pattern

Stanford Artist Bear Pattern

Stanford is a 50cm (20 inches) generously sized fully jointed teddy bear. He’s made from mohair, with glass eyes. The teddy bear has a traditional shape with detailed footpads. Although we used mohair for our bear, you could also make Stanford with synthetic fur or cotton fabric. This sewing pattern is suitable for beginner to intermediate teddy bear makers.

Printed Pattern

This is the printed version of the pattern. A printed teddy bear pattern is a great choice because you will receive the pattern templates ready to cut out and printed instructions that you can refer to on your worktable as you sew. Once you have paid for your order, we will ship the pattern sheets and instructions to your delivery address.

What Fabric is Suitable to Make this Bear?

We made our Stanford using mohair with a medium pile. He will also look good in shorter mohair or synthetic fur, and you could even use corduroy, denim, or cotton fabric to make him.
