Making Traditional Teddy Bears

Brian and Donna Gibbs are well-known to arctophiles as Bridon Bears, designers and manufacturers of kits for traditional and collectors' teddy bears. Their bears have long been in demand worldwide, and their articles and patterns in Crafts Beautiful and Popular Crafts aroused such interest from readers that it became apparent a book on the making of classic bears was needed. Making Traditional Teddy Bears was their first book, written specifically to address the demand for information ion the absorbing craft. Brian and Donna live in Bridport, Dorset
