SEWING THE BODY PARTS

Now you are ready to sew your bear's body parts. I usually begin by sewing one arm in the center section. Then I sew the two end pieces -- the body and one leg. Finally I sew the other arm and leg.
NOTE: It is important to hold down the fabric while sewing. Use a tight, small stitch. BE SURE to back-stitch your beginning and ending stitches.
In the illustrations you can see the back and front of the two fabric strips after they have been sewn together.

REMEMBER THIS:
A blog posts everything in a sequence that is LAST to FIRST so it is always important to read the previous post before starting to work on the present one.
