Sleeping Charlie memory bear sewing pattern:

This is a downloadable PDF sewing pattern to make a sleeping teddy bear with wings. It is perfect for sewing memory bears from clothing. This pattern uses my original best selling Charlie bear sewing pattern, and adds to it the idea of an angel or cherub who is sleeping.

Sleeping Charlie Bear size Your completed bear will be 44cm (17 1/2″) long from toe to top of head, and 17cm (6 1/2″) tall from ground to side of head

I have a Facebook group for makers of my patterns on Facebook CLICK HERE to join. My group is full of support from experienced makers if you need it and if you would love to show your completed Sleeping Charlie memory bear that would be amazing, we love to see and appreciate each others work.

The pattern is ONLY suitable for advanced sewists, ie those who have sewn memory bears before. This is because it is a complex pattern with non symmetrical pieces, and it requires a lot of ladder stitching too.
