Remove the paper pattern and check that you can see the eyes and mouth lines on the fabric.Īdd the eyes and mouth using some basic embroidery stitches. Now you can use a fabric marking pen (or standard pen) and trace through the paper slits onto the fabric. You can then connect those dots to create openings in the paper pattern. On the eyes and mouth lines, use a pin to poke several holes along the lines to create a dotted line. Place the paper pattern on top of the front body piece and clip or pin to hold. I’ve included a placement guide on the pattern piece to help with the location of the face elements. Otherwise, backstitch to secure the threads. If using a leather nose, pull the top threads to the back and knot. Place the nose piece 2 1/8″ down from the top of the head and center horizontally. With such a small piece, gluing is a better temporary hold than pins. I like to add a little glue to the back of the nose piece to help hold in place while sewing. Pull the top threads to the back and knot. **If you’re using leather for the heart, I recommend adding some glue to the back of the heart to temporarily hold while sewing. Sew around the perimeter of the heart with a 1/8″ to 1/4″ seam allowance and backstitch to secure the threads. Measure up from the crotch of the bear 2″ and place the bottom of the heart there. Unfold the body piece, and you will have a line of pins down the very center of the body piece. We’ll start by adding on the heart and face onto the front body piece.įirst, to place the heart centered onto the teddy bear belly, fold the front body piece in half lengthwise with the wrong sides together. Once your mats are prepped, select your materials, load the correct blade, and send it to the Cricut Maker to cut. For the teddy bear body pieces, you’ll need two pieces of fleece fabric approximately 8.5″ X 11″ for each body piece.

Prepare your Cricut FabricGrip Mat with your fabric pieces. Click the “Make It” button to get it ready for cutting. Upload the teddy bear pattern SVG file into Cricut Design Space and place it onto the canvas. Or pin the paper pattern pieces onto the fabric and cut around the paper. You can place (or pin) the paper pattern pieces onto the wrong side of the fabric and trace around the pieces with a fabric marking pen or regular pen.
