#memory bear

Hello everyone! Here’s the pattern that was teased earlier this week! It’s a Panda Memory Bear Plush ♥
https://cholyknight.com/2020/08/07/panda-plush/
I’ve had requests for both memory bears and pandas in the past, so I thought I might combine them! This project is designed so it can be made with a multitude of light to medium weight fabrics, so you can use the clothes from a loved one as a nice memento! In the instructions you’ll find examples of how the bear looks with 4 different fabrics as well as tips for using apparel fabrics in the construction.
It’s almost entirely machine-sewn for strength (unless you want to add a 3D muzzle), which does make the body a little crowded when adding the arms and legs. But if you take it slowly, a few inches at a time, you’ll get through ♥
The pattern comes with applique templates so you can sew the eyes by hand or machine, but there are embroidery files included as well that work with 4" x 4" hoops.
Like all of my other free patterns, this one is available to everyone for all time! You’re also welcome to sell items you’ve sewn with the pattern – though a credit back to me is much appreciated I hope you all like it!
