Freddie the Tiny Teddy Bear
Meet Freddie! He's a tiny doll-sized teddy bear - perfect for snuggling up with any of the Dress Up Bunch dolls.
Freddie is all hand-sewn. That makes him a perfect little project for carrying around in your purse so you can do a little stitching anywhere you need to wait: dentist office, scout meetings, soccer practice - you know what I'm talking about. :-)
This is exclusively available as a PDF pattern, delivered instantly and ready to print onto letter-size paper. No shipping costs and no waiting! If you're not sure what a PDF pattern is, you'll find more info here.

Size
He's about 5 inches tall, an excellent size for hugging - if you're a doll. :-) Look how cute he is in the photos, snuggled up with his doll and softie friends! He's a good size for American Girl dolls too. He'd also make a nice Christmas tree ornament or gift topper - just add a hanging loop.
Difficulty
Easy! You're going to love this one! Freddie uses just two super simple stitches to make - whipstitch and backstitch. Those stitches are so easy I teach them to kids as young as six. Seriously - cutting the pieces out is harder than sewing this guy up. You can do it! :-)
