If your child loves their stuffed animal, you know that it would be simply impossible to take that ratty old and under-stuffed toy, replace it with a new one and still survive. What's the solution? You'll have to do it yourself. You are Mom/Dad after all and you can fix anything, right? I wouldn't know where to start, until I found these clear instructions from WeeSandy at eHow. Here's a quick summary. If you need more details, she even diagrams a ladder stitch and problem solves little issues you might have along the way.
Materials
- Teddy
- Polyester fiberfill
- Needle
- Strong thread, matching the bear's fur color
- Sharp Scissors
Re-Stuffing Teddy
- Practice your ladder stitch on a piece of scrap fabric
- Clip a thread along the seam (unless there is already a hole) and open it enough to fit stuffing
- Stuff Teddy
- Use the ladder stitch to close the seam
- Slip Teddy back into your child's sleeping arms
