Wonderful Pattern!

This was a wonderful pattern, great instructions and a quick and easy make. I sew for a local nonprofit for children and will find new homes there. You won’t be disappointed by how cuddly and lovable they turn out to be.

Adorable beginner bear!

I really enjoyed making this squishy buddy. The pattern was very easy and an excellent choice for new sewers. It’s adorable and I can’t wait to make more!

Beginner friendly

Downloaded both Eddie and Brandon the Beaver to make memory “bears” for all of my nieces and my nephew to remember my Dad who passed away in October. I’m pretty new to sewing so this was easy enough of a pattern. Ended up sticking with Brandon for these because his muzzle reminds me of Dad’s mustache.

Great little bear patten

I was asked to make memory items for some children who lost their mother and this was a such a usable pattern for using her clothing and adding other fabric for sweet lovable keepsakes

How best can I put a plaid shirt on him?

Rating is only because I cant figure out how to add plaid shirt material. I LOVE the bear. For memory bear how would I sew a shirt/shirt fabric onto him since his back is one piece and front is two?

I have really enjoyed sewing Eddie the Bear. I have made 5 to donate to a Christmas bazar.

I love this bear! I used machine embroidery for the face which allowed for different expressions and no beads for eyes. It puts together very quickly and is an easy pattern to follow for a great stuffed toy!!

Practice in muslin first…

Eddie and I are making friends. I’m making him in muslin first as I practice all of the steps. I appreciate your videos, but I wish they were easier to find. I’m hoping to make 4 bears from my daughter’s pj’s, and I’m not sure stretch knits will work well. The bears are for my great grandkids after the death of their Grandmom…my daughter. I may have to buy cuddle fleece for the bodies and use the pj’s on feet pads, hands, and ears.

I ordered this pattern to make as part of the baby shower gift I was making for our nephew & his wife. They loved Eddie and I loved making him! The pattern pieces are great and directions simple to follow. I will be making many more "Eddie"s in the future!!

Huggable bear perfect for kids

I used this pattern to make Memory bears for my great niece and nephew from their grandmother’s fleece robes. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, but I didn’t attach the arms correctly. I should have listened to my gut and done them the way that made sense to me, but I followed the directions as I understood them even though it didn’t seem right. I had to unpick and do over, but no big deal. I have made stuffed animals before, so I knew I had to reverse the arm and leg patterns to make matching pairs. But it didn’t say that on the pattern pieces or the directions. This could cause a problem for beginners. The final results were wonderful! I hand embroidered “Meme” (pronounced Mimi but she spelled it Meme) on one foot and a heart on the other. The kids absolutely love their memory bears! I can’t seem to upload the photos from my iPad, but I did post them on the shiny happy world Facebook group’s page.

If Middle School Students can do this, so can you.

I bought these patterns at the request of my Middle School students. They love them. The instructions are so straight forward that even my students with limited sewing language skills can read and follow them. It is great!!! Thank you! My 8th grade boys were AMAZED at the power of the downloadable PDF. It was hilarious how excited they were that the patterns came to me instantly.

Pattern was easy to understand, instructions were detailed and well written with plenty of diagrams. I have sewn garments before but this was first time making a softie & I found it a breeze with her instructions. This toy is supposed to be a separation anxiety surrogate for a new puppy. I added a zipper down the back so I could insert a heartbeat simulator, heat pack & lavender pouch. Stuffed the rest with wool. This way the puppy bonds with her when it misses it's mother or litter mates. The size of the finished softie cam out the perfect size for this project. I am bookmarking her site so I can come back for more of her patterns for my future kiddos.

I have made a total of 7 bears with this pattern, both hand sewing and with a machine. Super great instructions with images
