Title: Free Teddy Pattern wanted
Post by: b15erk on May 23, 2019, 10:01:02 AM
I'm on a bit of a stashbust/UFO challenge atm, and while rooting through the stash, I noticed that I had lots of small pieces of cotton/quilting cotton.  I know some of you have made memory bears from old clothes from a loved one, and I thought, well why not have a go at making a bear from scraps instead.

Now many of you know of my failure rate with toys, and I've had some spectacular fails, but I'd really like to make a bear or two.

I know that there are lots of free bear patterns out there, but I'm really hoping for suggestions for bears that have been made, and that you recommend.

Being a novice, I prefer no fancy fixings, and none of those eyes which are the work of the antichrist!

@b15erk This (https://nerdyrabbit.fandom.com/wiki/Teddy_Bear_Sewing_Pattern_(Jo_Carter)), to the best of my knowledge, is the pattern for the TSP Bear as made my Vegegrow.
I checked back over her posts and she said it was "bear in a bag" and this is the only one not associated directly with Sewing Quarter. They seem to have removed all trace of it from their website and FB as far as I can see. It's Jo Carter's.
Hope this is the kind of thing you're looking for.  :)

@wrenkins Thanks wren, that's exactly the one I was thinking of, but I did find a similar one on the Sew magazine website.  This  (https://www.sewmag.co.uk/free-sewing-patterns/memory-bear) is the one.

It's only to use to get rid of some stashscraps as I'm rubbish at toys.

Going to have another look at Veg's bear.  Thank you.
