I will also invite you to join a friendly and supportive Facebook group. Here you can watch video demonstrations, see bears made by other customers and ask questions.

A handmade teddy bear makes a special gift for a birthday or Christmas. It is also makes cute nursery decor, a special gift for a baby shower or it could be made as a memory bear to remember a loved one

With this sewing pattern, you can make a bear or panda doll. You can choose to sew or paint the bear’s face using templates for open or closed eyes.
