How to Make a Poncho for a Teddy Bear

Ponchos are back in style after a 20-year break. Dress your Teddy in the latest fashion!


Things You'll Need:
1. Fabric Glue Or Paint
2. Fabrics
3. Irons
4. Sewing Machine
5. Sewing Needles
6. hreads
7. Scissors
8. Scissors Instructions
9. Sewing Chalk

Instructions:

Step 1
Fold your fabric in half.
Step 2
Lie Teddy down with his head extending over the fold so that the fold goes right under his neck.
Step 3
Draw a square on the fabric with chalk - the poncho should come about three-quarters of the way down his body (length) and to his paw tips (width).
Step 4
Make a little mark at each side of his neck.
Step 5
Lay Teddy to one side for safety.
Step 6
Cut down the sides and across the bottom of the poncho.
Step 7
Cut carefully between the little marks on the fold to make a head hole.
Step 8
Try the poncho on him. Don't be surprised if you have to make the hole a bit bigger; many Teddies have large heads!
Step 9
Narrow hem all edges, or finish with fabric glue.
