    INSTRUCTIONS

    PONCHO use the 12 x 12 paper as a pattern and pin in place on the polar fleece, then cut out use sewing scissors for a nice clean cut.Snip the poncho edges every 1/4 inch around each side of the poncho to make a fringe. As shown in below diagram.


    Next determine the center of the poncho by folding it in half, and then in half again. Use the pattern wedge and pin on the folded corner edge and cut the head hole for the poncho.

    SKIRT use a large dinner plate as the pattern for the skirt. Lay it on the fabric and use the plate as a guide. Cut about a 1/4 inch away from the plate and cut all the way around. If the edges are a little rough just tidy them up with small snips of the scissors. Just like the poncho fold the skirt in half and in half again to find the center. Pin the pattern wedge on the folded corner and cut an opening in the shirt. Try the skirt on you don’t want it to be really tight and you don’t want it to be loose. Just like the three bears you want it just right.

    SCARF Use a ruler to measure 24 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. Cut the proper length and width. Use your scissors to make a fringe on each end.

    HEAD BAND cut the head band 27 inches long by 1 inch wide. This goes on your bear by centering the head band at the back of your bears neck. Bring both sides up an around your bears head in front of the ears and tie in a bow at the top of your bears head.

    Wow your bear will look Fabulous!
