School Sweatshirt for Your Teddy Bear

Use an old school sweatshirt to make one for your bear.  You could take him to school or make as a memento of your child's time there. 

You will need an old school sweatshirt and a measuring tape to measure your bear.

Keep the cuff and waist ribbing on and cut a sleeve from each sleeve, and the front and back of the sweatshirt from the main body of the original as shown.
 
Cut out the school badge and the neck ribbing to attach later.

You will need to cut out two pieces for the sweatshirt body and two sleeves as shown to fit your bear. 

Remember to sew all seams on the wrong side of the sweatshirt.

 1.  Sew across the shoulder seams, according to your measurements.  You need a fairly large gap for your teddy's head as they tend to be quite big (sorry bears!).

 

 

 

Attach the top of the sleeve to the main body with the shoulder seam central.

Then, sew up the sides of the sleeves and jumper.
