I JUST finished my little bear! He makes me smile. I have sewn and I quilt, but have never before made a bear!
I was SO glad that I opted for purchasing the video, too. It helped so much. I would watch each step, which was very well done, BTW, and then do just that step and then go on to the next.
The iron on pattern was so clear, and well-marked. I loved that each part joined the matching number, and in order of stitching.
VERY well done, all of it! The iron on pattern made working through the steps so much better than just a pattern I would have to cut out without the pattern ironed on. Just made it so straightforward.
I used some favorite, non-directional fabric for this. I was mindful of fabric placement on the pieces so all of the little birds on the fabric showed nicely.
The steps were short and easy and made sense. Thank you for this darling pattern! (I did use some safety eyes that I already had.)

I lost my mother near Mother’s Day
I cleaned out her closet and used her clothes. What an excellent gift to remember your loved one forever. I especially love the poem in the heart!
Hugs are a gift. Thank you for making adorable huggable bears for my family members and myself ❤️
This pattern looks like it will be quick and easy to make. I've ordered three of them and I'm just waiting for the recipients to pick their fabrics.
I really enjoyed making a bear using clothes I embroidered for my daughter when she was a baby/toddler. The instructions and process were mostly easy to follow. I am by no means a sewing machine expert, but the iron-on pattern & numbering system made it relatively easy to assemble with the novice sewing skills I have. I had some trouble with the ears and arms — nothing that was irreversible (or able to be covered up!) I added buttons for the eyes instead of using embroidery thread. Highly recommend for anyone looking to create a keepsake!
So very easy to follow, great instructions! Made 2 mini bears in 2 days! I was so excited with everything marked and numbered I ordered the bundle of three!
These bears are a beautiful reminder for my sons of their grandfather. He passed away suddenly last year and I wanted my boys to have something of his to remember him by. 🩵 Thank you to The Patchwork Bear for the sweet keepsakes.
I LOVED this iron on template process!!! Your process made it so much easier to visualize the steps to make a bear. I paired this with a matching baby quilt for my colleague's baby shower. She loved it!
I was not sure what to expect. When I opened the box, I was overwhelmed with so many emotions. They did an outstounding job and I know this will be a treasure my daughter will keep forever of her dad. Thank you so much!!
