Whimsical Teddy Bears by Neysa A Phillippi

Published by Portfolio Press in 2000. This is one of my favorite Teddy Bear pattern books. It is for the intermediate level bear maker. Her patterns aren’t simple, but the book has 15 unique patterns in its 144 pages.

These are not traditional looking teddy bears, they have a lot of personality. I even enlarged the Grizz pattern to make a 6 foot bear that I dressed in a santa costume to hold a plate of cookies by my fireplace on Christmas Eve when my boys were still little .

I’ve made “Dusty” several times and a couple of the others as well. If you like bear making, this is a must-have book.

I don’t see it for sale very often on Ebay, but you can probably pick it up new at Amazon.com
