Hey there
i am wanting to make memory bears and bunnies from items like baby grows, loved ones clothing.... also wishing to make a bear to help towards collecting money towards research into funding for my disability and others likewise, but i cannot for the life of me find a pattern which lets me make it like a patchwork bear and a decent sized one about 14 /15 inches... i have came across pattern where it is half and half but i need the pattern to let me take a bit of the clothing and place it in each part ie- gusset, tummy half i also need one that can be non jointed as well as a jointed one...i have been disabled a while now and wish to do something from my bed hand sew these too so i am not just lying here letting in to this horrible disease... please i really hope someone can help me on my new adventure with teddy and a bunny pattern/s...
much love
Debbie
Debbie, I have two patterns that make unjointed patchwork bears. Both patterns contain pieces that make 3 different sizes ranging from 17/18 inches to 20/24 inches. One is a Simplicity crafts pattern # 8418 and the other is pattern # 118 from Possibilities/DreamSpinners (Great American Quilt Factory, Inc.). Both of these are pretty old, so don't know if you can still find them but it might be worth your time to investigate.
Thanks so much i managed to track one down in america on ebay and it looks just fine, i will be posting up my pics as i go along, i have looked through pictures on here and i am in awe from what i see with them all so talented.... many thanks again
