Know a child who likes to play with teddy bears or other stuffed animals? Autumn from It’s Always Autumn shares a free pattern for making teddy bear clothes. Her top & bloomer pattern will fit most Build-A-Bear and similarly sized stuffed animals. Both pieces are easy to sew. You can customize the pinafore by adding a faux collar or pockets, or maybe a little applique. There’s a little hole at the back of the bloomers for the tail to poke through.
