Customer Review
I'm so thrilled with this book, I've been a collector of Sue Quinn's bears and woodland creatures for years so would have bought this book for the wonderful photos and illustrations alone but it's so much more than that, I've had a bear making kit for a while now but hadn't started it because I needed clear guidance, this book gives me that with clear photographed step by step instructions in every stage of making a bear, also a section on making clothes and ageing bears as well as instructions for repairing old bears, I also love the sections throughout the book on collectors of Sue's bears, even if you don't know or collect Sue's bears this is the best book I've seen for making a bear from scratch, it also contains templates for the bears shown, all in all a wonderful book to get if you want to make teddy bears or are just a collector who wants to know how to care for your bears xx
