I did not know how to sew, but I wanted to make a memory bear for a grieving friend. I couldn't find a pattern nor a tutorial that was easy enough. After making more than 15 bears, THIS is the pattern I created and the video to go along with it. Hope this helps you make your own lovely bear!
I made my first bear thankyou for making it so easy to do I'm definitely making more so I can practice before I do one with my wedding dress can't wait ❤❤❤❤
Hello, I have been searching for an easy pattern for our sewing guild to make for the upcoming holiday charity project. After watching many videos, yours is the easiest pattern to follow for all level of sewists. Would you give us permission to use your pattern as we will not be selling but rather they will be strictly Gifted to displaced children. Thank you Lonna Program Director for Lake Sumpter Chapter of American Sewing Guild
Yes - the bigger bears, Chipper and Mamie, are about 18" from the top of the head to the bottom of the foot, and they sit about 14" tall. This one is about 11" when sitting.
Someone in China stole my patterns and is selling them illegally on Temu and other websites. Please know you can only LEGALLY purchase my patterns on Etsy. :(
❤wow this has to be the most interesting tutorial I have ever watched at 71 I never thought I would be watching how to make a bear!! But I’m making one for our dear friends who are about to be grandparents for the first time at Christmas!! You certainly are a very talented lady . Thank you so much ; I may even make some more 😊❤
This is one amazing pattern and video! I purchased your pattern after watching this first, and I have now just completed my first bear without any trouble, I am in love! Chubby turned out beautifully for a first try Thank you for taking your time for a decent sized pattern and video! Well worth it ❤❤
I have to tell you Thank You for this tutorial! I did a search for memory bears and saw your shop. The fact that my purchase also includes a video tutorial is why I purchased from you.

Yes, I normally back tack. (If I didn't in this video, it's either because I made it a long time ago and didn't know what I was doing or I was rushing. 🤣)

57:18 I'm 85 and have done some sewing but have never tried a stuffed bear. I was hesitant to try one until I came across your excellent video. Thanks to your wonderful voice and clear instructions, my bear came out so cute. Thankyou for sharing. ❤
Great tutorial - thanks for going to all the steps! Of course, the music in the background is stuck in my head. I watched and sewed after each segment and kept going back, so it's gonna be there for awhile.
Omg I am so glad I found this video you are awesome and explain everything perfectly I am dyslexic so reading and understanding patterns are hard you have made this so easy thank you for taking the time to do the video ❤
