We sew a bear

Pin the body parts on the fabric from the wrong side so that they do not move, circle with a small or thin bar of soap. Pay attention to the amount of detail. Cut, leaving small allowances for seams, connect the parts on a typewriter or manually from the wrong side.
It is important to make notches correctly (green lines in the figure) so that the body takes the desired shape when inverted. In places of bends, cut the fabric perpendicular to the seam, literally 1-2 mm short of it. Do not overdo it.
Combine the received details, leaving a small gap in an inconspicuous place to stuff a toy with a padding polyester. With its help, it is necessary to shape the figure so that it is packed evenly, looks smooth, without dips, the legs have the same thickness. The toy should be like the one shown in the picture. Sew the hole with a blind stitch.

Embroider a triangular or round nose exactly in the middle, and sew button eyes over it. On the legs, four pulling stitches, indicating the claws, must be made.
