In the first half of the book five stylized versions of real bears, including a brown bear and a panda, pal up with five imaginary bear figures that are themed around different occasions and activities around the year-a romantic bear for Valentine's day, a vampire bear for Halloween, a Christmas Santa, and a vacation surfer. The second half of the book


brings bear motifs to a range of stylish sewing projects-appliqued onto or crafted into pillows, tote bags, jewelry, and other gifts and accessories.


Each project provides detailed step-by-step instructions and templates, and lots of ways to customize the design.
