    Pleated Skirt

    Tax included.

    The Pleated Skirt is not only cute and stylish but also versatile, making it perfect for wearing out to lunch or to the shops. You can also team it up with our Polo Shirt and School Cardigan patterns to create a smart school uniform for your teddy bear. The Pleated Skirt sewing pattern is perfect for those who want to add a touch of elegance to their teddy bear's wardrobe.

    The Pleated Skirt sewing pattern is suitable for confident beginners upwards and is designed to fit 15-18 inch teddy bears, such as Build a Bear and Bear Factory teddy bears. To encourage the upcycling of fabric, this pattern has been designed with two sets of pattern templates; full sized templates for when you have a large piece of fabric available for your project and smaller sized templates for use when recycling your old children's clothes. These smaller templates will ensure that when the pattern pieces are sewn together, the seams will line up correctly e.g., on the side of the skirt.
