Condition & notes
In Very Good condition. Pictorial paper covers show a light brown teddy bear posed on a beach with a striped ribbon, Japanese title in a red banner with English subtitle "Let's Make Teddy Bears." Mild shelf wear with light bumping and creasing to cover edges and corners. Binding is tight. Interior pages are clean and unmarked. The large fold-out full-size pattern sheet has been separated from the book and is no longer bound in, but is otherwise completely unused and uncut; the English title "LET'S MAKE TEDDY BEARS" is written in ink in the top margin of the pattern sheet.Japanese craft book with patterns and step-by-step color photograph instructions for sewing at least ten different teddy bears and their outfits. Includes basic and variant bear patterns (light brown jointed bear, silver-grey bear, floral print bear, checked-dress bear, blue gingham-bow bear, and patchwork/solid-color miniatures), arm and leg construction diagrams, and clothing patterns including dresses, blouses, and pants. The abundant color photography and diagrams make the construction accessible without Japanese language skills.
