What Are Epatterns? Dear Friends Long winter evenings are made for finding a warm spot and quietly doing a bit of crafting with a cup of hot chocolate within reach. One can do only so much before you need to venture out and forage for new inspiration though. I’m happy to see the first buds on trees in our garden, and notice that the birds are chirping a few minutes earlier in the morning. Here are a few craft happenings to get your creative juices flowing. Please note that there will be no mini sale on Saturday 27 August. You will find us at the Parkhurst Miniatures Festival. Dizzy Been meaning to make a bear? Have some UFOs (UnFinished Objects) that you would like to tick off your to- do list? Join us on Saturday 3 September from 9am till 4pm at our inspiring and relaxing all day bear making event. In addi- tion to the prepared kits that we keep ready for first time bear makers, I have cut a few Dizzy bears from an assort- ment of bright and colourful mohair fabric. If you need to add a bit of wow to your bear collection, go ahead and book yourself into a workshop! Details available in the Classroom on our website. At R 320 for a full day including kit and lunch, or R 160 for a full day including lunch if you are working on your own project, this workshop is a bargain! Workshops for the remainder of 2011 are filling up fast, book early to avoid disappointment. What are ePatterns? With advances in technology, easy internet banking, and this challenged crafter learning to hit the right keys on the computer, it has become possible to send a pattern to you almost instantly by email, without needing to wait for the mailman. The process is simple. You select your patterns from our website and email your request, or if you have Paypal, buy them directly from our Etsy shop. Once I receive your payment, I email the pattern to you in handy PDF format, and you can print them out immedi- ately. In a jiffy you are ready to start your project. Not all our patterns are available as ePatterns yet, new ones defi- nitely are, and we are in the process of scanning the most popu- lar older patterns. I have put together a special bundle of patterns to get you going with ePatterns. From 29 August to 15 September you can order the Pink n Purple ePattern Package for only R 100, and receive Muffy, Erika, June and Fraudelin as ePatterns. Email to place your order. If anyone knows how to contact Mr Spock at Starship Enterprise, please let me know, I need to figure out how to email mohair! I am happy to report that a total of 623 teddy bears were collected by Bearathon this year, well above our aim of 500 bears. The teddies were handed over to The Teddy Bear Clinic for Abused Children on 14 July. A heartfelt thank you to every- one who contributed. I am still receiving information requests about Bearathon and we are thinking of making this an ongoing project at Tin Soldiers. If you missed out on the event this year, for the time being I’m leaving the information on our website and will update it when we decide how to handle the project in future. If you would like to make a contribution of time or money to the Teddy Bear Clinic di- rectly, you will find contact information on their website. Design Workshop In July we had a workshop for a group of ladies who booked a day to learn to design their own patterns. I’m very proud of their efforts! Here are Hope and H2O, designed and made by mother and daughter team Susan and Antoinette. Both bears are made from Loubear mohair. One wonders why Hope is virtuous and spends time on her knees, while H2O keeps his drink in a bottle covered with brown paper? It is so much fun to be able to tell a story through your teddy bear craft. Once you know how to draw and alter your own patterns, there’s no limit to the things you can let your bears get up to. Kick a ball, dance in a ballet, recline in an easy chair while holding knitting, you only need to imagine the scene and design your bear to fit right in. Lately I have had lots of requests for a teddy bear de- sign workshop. If this is something that interests you, I will arrange a work- shop on a date that suits you if you have a group of a minimum of six persons to attend. The workshop usu- ally takes four to five hours to complete, and although we will cover all the basics of teddy bear design you are welcome to bring suggestions of your own characters to design. At the end of the workshop every person will take home a set of templates, tested and ready to cut from mohair. For those of you too far away to attend a workshop I also have good news. I have started compiling my years of working knowledge of teddy bear design into an online workshop. It should be ready by October, watch the Tin Soldiers website for details. New Patterns New from Nerina Roberts at Cloth Characters, Arabella is a 40 cm cloth rabbit made from calico and cotton. She has painted facial features. The pattern for her dress and handbag is also included. A great project for beginner and intermediate cloth crafters. Printed Pattern R 35 Kit R 140 Also from Nerina , Wendy is a 35 cm cloth doll made from cotton lycra. Her clothes are made from cotton fabric and rib trim, patterns included. Wendy has fingers and toes! Glass eyes and sculpt- ing makes this an iteal project for doll makers with a bit of experience. Printed Pattern R 35 Kit R 140 And here’s a new pattern from Megan at last! Muffy is a 12cm jointed mohair bear wearing a pretty little dress. The pattern for her pin cushion is also included. Each kit is supplied with white mohair, lace and cotton fabrics, as well as the beads and accesso- ries you see in the picture. Instructions for natural dyeing with tea or food colouring is included. (The bear in the photograph was made by tea dyeing the fabrics and lace). Printed Pattern R 35 EPattern R 30 Kit R 155 Make it with Megan Our next round of ‘Make it with Megan’ workshops are from 29 August to 1 September. Here are the days and times: Monday 29 August 6pm till 10 pm Tuesday 30 August 9am till 1pm Tuesday 30 August 6pm till 10 pm Wednesday 31 August 9am till 1pm Thursday 1 September 6pm till 10 pm In these workshops teddy bear and doll makers work on their own projects, with Megan available when you need guidance. Everyone from beginner to advanced level are welcome. R 60 per session. Kit Bashing Challenge What is kit bashing? The term kit bashing comes from the dolls house miniatures world. It means to use a kit that was meant to make something specific, and adapt, or ‘bash’ it if you prefer, into a different shape. In our case, we will be using the kit for Tiny Tim, and bashing it into a different kind of bear by altering the pat- tern. Who can participate? Everyone, beginners to professional are invited to send a photo of their bear. Closing date for entries is 17 February 2012. The winner will be determined by voting and will receive a R 500 voucher for mohair at the Loubear online shop. Two additional winners will be ran- domly chosen. These will each receive a set of bear making tools. What are the rules? In order to enter, you must buy a kit for Tiny Tim. You can enter as many bears as you like, but you must buy a kit for each entry. The kit will be supplied with white mohair. You can dye, distress or in any other way alter the mohair, add some of your own fabric, do whatever you like. You must use a piece of the kit mohair somewhere in your altered design though. If you want to alter the eye/joint size of the bear, you may do that. You must use the pattern sheet that came in the kit. You can make as many changes to the pattern as you like, but you are not to enlarge or reduce the size of the bear by photocopying or scanning the pattern. The end result must still be a teddy bear (not an elephant, dragon or some other creature). In brief, that’s it. You need to send us a photo of your bear by 17 Feb next year, and we will add it to the website. The full kit bashing challenge details are on our website. There are also some pictures of a previous competition to get your creative juices flowing. A Bit of Bear History Here’s an excerpt from a great article about early teddy bears by Frances Cronin. You can read the full article in the BBC Online News Magazine. In 1903, 3,000 teddy bears were sent by ship from Germany to America only for them to disappear. Some claim the bears were the first ever made and would now be the most valuable in the world. So what happened to them? In the Steiff museum, in the German town of Giengen, the mystery of the missing bears is explained to the visiting children with a tale that they were lost at sea.

However, they can be continued at the highest level: That’s why we like Steiff’s manufacturing concept so much. “Manufacture” as an old Latin term: “manus”, the hand, “facere” to do, build or produce something. And if this thought, this concept hadn’t already existed, we at Steiff would surely have invented it. Creating something with your hands. Allowing skill, experience and craftsmanship to flow into the creation process. Bringing in passion, commitment and lots of love for detail into the creative process – in order to bring something extraordinary and unique to life. But that’s what it is: For us, manufacture is far more than just a fashionable word. Because, true to the spirit of our founder Margarete Steiff, we are fully committed to not only honour the tradition of manufacture, but to continually imbue it with new life. Day after day. With every animal leaving our company so steeped in tradition. www.steiff.com 5 Materials Millimetre by millimetre and thread for thread: simply the best. Those wanting to create something special and unique of lasting value will need nothing less than the perfect “ingredients”. This not only applies to many other areas but especially to our Steiff manufacture, where we only use “ingredients” of the highest quality: for every Steiff animal, from head to paw.

  • Steiff Teddy Bear Catalog #: 1978.67.8 Donor: Marcia Newitt Estate
    Donation of the Month Object: Steiff Teddy Bear Catalog #: 1978.67.8 Donor: Marcia Newitt Estate Arctophily — the love of teddy bears — began in November 1902 when President Theodore Roosevelt traveled to Mississippi to help settle a border dispute with Louisiana. While there his hosts took him bear hunting. After three days of roughing it with no game in sight, the guides used dogs to track and injure an old she-bear. Tying the ailing animal to a tree, they summoned the president. But Roosevelt decided that it would be unsportsmanlike to kill the captive bear; instead he ordered it be put down to end its suffering. And that was how the legend of Teddy’s bear was born. When Washington Post political cartoonist Clifford Berryman heard the story, he sketched a cartoon titled “Drawing the Line in Mississippi,” a phrase which played up both the border dispute as well as Roosevelt’s refusal to shoot a captive bear. In the cartoon a man holds a rope tied around the throat of an adult bear while TR stands with his rifle, his back turned against the sad scene and his hand held out as if to stop what was happening. Berryman’s cartoon immediately captured the public’s attention. In an effort to capitalize on its popularity and further its already-powerful message, his subsequent renderings depicted a cute bear cub rather than an old black bear. It is the image of this baby bear that is most often recalled when folks discuss the history of teddy bears. When Russian immigrants Morris and Rose Michtom saw the cartoon, they were inspired to put a stuffed bear that Rose had made in the window of their of Brooklyn stationary and novelty store.

  • Washington Winter Wonderland — November 2010 to January 2011
    Washington Winter Wonderland — November 2010 to January 2011 Our holiday exhibit featured over one hundred and thirty vintage Steiff stuffed toy animals in whimsical displays throughout the Museum. Steiff is best known as the company that invented the Teddy bear. Local designers, Chris Zaima and Anne Chapin, decorated beautiful Christmas trees as well. John Pitts, former Scenic Artist at The Metropolitan Opera in New York City, painted a beautiful winter mural on the walls of the Museum. This enchanting exhibit ran from Thanksgiving 2010 through January 30, 2011. The exhibit was reviewed here. Steiff Appraisal Day — January 22, 2011 The public was invited to bring their Steiff bears and animals to the Museum to be evaluated by Sandy Booth and Shelley Smith, both long-time collectors whose toys were on display in the current exhibit. They answered questions and verbally appraised items for estimated age and value. This fun, informal event was free. Dedication of the Georgianna Middlebrook Room — November 28, 2010 We dedicated the main entrance gallery in the Museum in honor of Georgianna Middlebrook, a long-time Washington resident and supporter of the Gunn. The Georgianna Middlebrook Room will be dedicated to Washington history. A History of the Washington Agricultural Fair The Georgianna Middlebrook Room is dedicated to Washington history.

  • Another Reason to Celebrate Steiff Inside Celebrating 135 Years Rarities Wooden Toys – a Journey Through Time 2 EDITORIAL
    The magazine for Steiff Club members – May 2015 Club CLUB NEWS Another reason to celebrate STEIFF INSIDE Celebrating 135 years RARITIES Wooden toys – A journey through time 2 EDITORIAL Dear Steiff friends, The response to our members’ survey in February was a resounding success. First of all, my warmest thanks to everyone who took part. The results of the survey were not available as we went to press. However, we expect them to be representative, and we will publish them in the August issue, when we will also publish the names of the winners of the 10 prizes. Now to our latest edition. The highlight is the Teddy bear on the cover page. He belongs to the Margarete Steiff Edition series, which after a break lasting a number of years continued last year with Teddy bear “Franz”. However, for various reasons the item was not distributed through the same channels as the earlier models. So it gives me particular pleasure that we are able to present the new edition to you exclusively this year, and with a pre-purchase right. Despite the very low number issued, we are returning to the proven processing method used in previous years. Find out more about Teddy bear Fritz on pages 6 to 9, and just how you can obtain this fabulous bear – who has a more than unusual accessory. We also take a journey back in time and through the 135-year history of the Steiff company, to introduce you to the most diverse products. Of course, we also provide you with information on the latest exhibitions and events.
