Description
Memory bear pattern – Charlie bear
Your completed bear will be 35cm (13 1/2″) tall from bottom to top of head and 30cm (11 1/2″) wide from side to side. I created the Charlie memory bear pattern to mimic the look of button jointed bears, whilst being much faster to sew as the limbs are attached. The ears have folds in them to add character, and the paw pads are nice and big so they not only look cute but have plenty of room to embroider names and dates on.
If you would prefer to make your Charlie memory bear pattern button jointed there is a tutorial on this website to explain the process
This download includes 5 pages of fully described pattern, photos of some of the more complex steps and 4 pages of pattern pieces. There is a photo tutorial with EVERY step of this pattern HERE
