Teddy Bear Patterns (and a pyjama case pattern)
from Norbeary Fabrics

Alfred Albert traditional teddy bear pattern

Alfred Albert is an old Barbara-Ann Bear from the 1990's. We think he looks best in scruffy mohair, sparse or vintage but he looks very dapper in denser mohair too. We've found him a very adaptable pattern and because his body shape is quite doll-like he lends himself to being dressed, we used to make him as a pirate and once he became Fred and Ginger.

Alfred Albert is about 16 inches/40cm tall, his pattern uses 3/8ths of a metre (or a 40cm strip) of mohair and he needs 5x45mm joints.

Augustus traditional centre seam teddy bear pattern

Augustus is an elegant and old fashioned, traditional, centre seam, Barbara-Ann Bear, which you can make in a variety of mohairs, from vintage or straight to curly or distressed. We think that distressed or curly mohair suits him best, the bear in the photo is our original Augustus made in the 1990's from a lovely piece of British mohair. We think he looks particularly good in the Edwardian studded collar, unfortunately they're hard to come by these days.
