Hello! Welcome to Bridon Studios!
We are Brian & Donna Gibbs, the authors of some of the best selling Teddy Bear Making books that were sold worldwide in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s.
Our 5 titles were translated into several languages and were extremely popular as they helped many thousands worldwide to make their own traditional teddy bear.
We also wrote for many craft magazines and due to a resurgence of interest in making traditional teddy bears, we have decided to offer a range of our own designs as PDF downloads ready for instant purchase.
All of the patterns are for traditional fully jointed teddy bears, that we all remember from childhood. Initially we have a dozen or so designs for you to choose from, all are our original designs and further additions and possibly kits will be added at a later date.
For those who are maybe beginning the craft or would like to know more on how to make their own teddy bear, we have a free 8-page colour instruction booklet again in PDF form that will take you through all the basics of stitching your bear together, jointing, stitching the nose and attaching the eyes etc.
