Review:

Teddy bear devotees can tell you that each bear has its very own personality, and this is certainly evident in Carol-Lynn R�ssel Waugh's Bearmaking 101. Her book, the author declares, is a realm "in which teddy bears pass through dimensional barriers between ordinary reality and imagination to take up residence in the hearts and minds of unsuspecting humans." Waugh establishes an alternate world of unique bear characters, and through this framework the bears themselves guide us on a journey of discovery, helping the author to teach us to create easy single-pattern-piece bears, multi-jointed and gusseted bears, marionette bears, hand puppet bears, and tiny teddies. She supplies superbly detailed instructions and complete patterns for the 12 projects, plus extensive coverage of basics like fabric choices, supplies, stitching tips, and jointing directions. This engaging introduction to creating wonderful teddy bears is specific enough for first-timers, yet imaginative enough to serve more experienced bear makers. --Amy Handy
