I couldn't agree more! I've just started my sewing and bear making journey and I'm so grateful to have found this channel to help me make my bear and learn things, I'm hopefully going to make many teddy bears, all thanks to these wonderfully informative videos!
I am so happy that I stumbled on finding you. I am disabled and don't go out much but I love to sew . I find your videos very interesting and really love that your patterns are free for download. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us all .
Thank you very much for this tutorial! It is possibly THE BEST I have EVER seen! I love the detailed yet concise way you show us how to "build" this bear! I immediately sent my daughter the link! Outstanding work!
I love these videos! I've recently picked up sewing as a hobby and made my first ragdoll the other day and I'm now making a patchwork bear, I still have a lot to learn like the different stitches and still trying to learn how to sew things together while hiding stitches.. I have a handheld sewing machine but I much prefer to hand sew as its more secure and precise, but it does take a long time, when making bears is it better to hand sew or use a machine? I love these tutorials, after some practice I plan on starting to make my own bears and ragdolls as I've been collecting bears for years and love to make my own and I'll definitely be following these videos to make my own bears! Would love to make a jointed one someday!
So Beautiful! I love that these are so realistically dimensional and upscale💖. You are amazing in your designs, video instruction...it's literally like having a private Tutor right here with us. Can't wait to try all of these! I have so much fur I would love to try after I test these out. Thanks for continuing to bring such amazing projects and education to us!💖😘
You are amazing and amazingly generous in providing free patterns. I've never made a 3-D sewing object, but you give me confidence that following you and your videos, I probably can. Listening to your bio and encouragement in this video, I'm happy to hear of your international successes and pattern making history. I'm so happy that I've stumbled upon your channel. I was searching on how to stabilize felt for a purse organizer that I am working on. I'm confident that I have found the right person to guide me. I have watched your video on that topic and now am viewing several other of your vids that interest me. Again, thank you for your great generosity and for your expertise. I hope to have found a new skill (3-D sewing) for a new niece, yet to be born.
Such an exciting time for you! Creative growth is such a positive thing. I’m very happy you have joined my journey and hope we sew many projects together!And remember I’m always here to help!A wonderful warm Christmas to you and yours!🥰🤗🎄
@@payitforward9442 Actually, i forgot, it will be my great-niece, another level of exciting... And you are so right about creative growth with new beginnings. Thanks for your kind words. I wish you and yours a healthy and happy holiday season, as well!
You are so talented! I've never seen anything more realistic!!! Thank you for your generosity with your patterns. You have created a monster! I want to make them all!!! Thank you!!!
Hi Lisa, thank you so much for the free pattern! I’ve made one teddy for my daughter from a discarded jacket of hers and I’m currently trying to make one from off-cuts of rugby fabric for my husband
I can't believe I've never seen your channel before! Your bears are just divine and the fact you provide free patterns of your beautiful creations is amazing!! I make little bears when I'm not working, but yesterday I was asked to make one from babygrows that were intended for a little one who didn't make it. Would any of your patterns be good to use for such a project? Again, I think you are something special, doing something amazing, and I am currently binge watching your videos! Thank you!
Welcome! Great to have you on board, have a look at my memory Bear patterns, they will be a good option for those sweet Babygrows. Just be sure to interface All your fabrics first. I hope I get to see your results🥰
@@payitforward9442 Thank you for replying! I decided that was the best way to go, so had a search for a memory bear pattern and bought one I liked. Now I just need to get up the courage to cut into these tiny garments! Once I have finished, I'm definitely having a go at your fabric bear as it is gorgeous! :D Thanks again! Frankie x
This will always be my all time favourite teddy pattern as it was the one I first found that lead to discovering you ♥️. It does not matter what fabric I use this bear turns out so cute every single time 😁
This is wonderful, thank you for such a detailed video. Have made a couple of teddies before but have not had the confidence to try shading but will definitely be giving this a go now.
He’s very cute and thank you for your expertise. I love the video and extensive instructions, I’ll need every bit and can’t wait to give him ago. However, I’m finding pastels hard to find in Sydney, any thoughts? I’m also hoping to get enough experience to try a mohair jointed teddy, do you have a video for them Lisa?
Hi Denise, welcome! You will find soft pastels in any Art supply stores and online Art suppliers. It is my full intention to create a beautiful beginner Mohair Bear for my Channel very soon. It will be a great one for you to start with. I’ll walk you through it every step of the way. I hope you will stay tuned!😊🥰
Thank you so much for all these tips Lisa! I sure do love this little bear. I intend to make my first one in felt, but curious if you think a corduroy fabric could also work well?
@@payitforward9442 Thank you so much for the advice, Lisa! I've decided to work on getting better with felt and sherpa bears before I try adding any complicated fabrics, then. I'm learning so much with this sweet little bear.
Love this!. Do you ever use fabric scraps as the core of your bears? I did this to stretch my polyfil and to give it some weight and firmness. I rolled it into a sort of shape. Plus, don't we all have fabric scraps? :)
Yes for sure , I’m a soft sculptor first, however many of these projects are suitable as Toys for Children. The Memory Bear is designed to be hugged and loved!🥰
Hi! I was wondering if you ever make your bears out of denim? I want to make a memory bear for my friend and her mom. She gave me a huge box of her dads old jeans and two of his favorite shirts. I thought I would make the bears as a thank you for all the jeans. Can you give me some tips, or maybe do a demo on working with denim. I really love your work! Thank you.
Hi Pat, Denim is something I’m very passionate about, I love to upcycle denim clothing. I have made several bears in denim however they do need to be cut the right way because of that diagonal line running through it. Perhaps I could do a video on working with denim?🤔 and a pattern! Thanks for the idea! Stay tuned 🥰🤗
Hello Lisa, I've been looking for ages for a pattern and tutorial for bears and then I found you, delighted to say the least. I've just finished my first attempt at your elephant and I'm so very pleased with it, it's such a good tutorial. I'd like to try this bear now but if I wanted to do it bigger, I have an A3 printer, would I just enlarge it in the printer settings or would this distort the pattern pieces? Thanks, Sian
This is an adorable bear! Is this 100% wool felt or craft felt or something in between? This might be the best bear for me to start with. You are so awesome. Thanks!
Hi! Most of my Felt creations are made up in washable Acrylic felt, I have a video called “How to prepare your Felt for sewing” Lots of info there. This Bear is a Perfect starting point!🥰
What size paper do I need to make sure the 4" line is 4"s? I've used standard 8x11 paper and the line is short. I don't want a smaller elephant or bear. They are hard enough to sew w/o them being smaller!
Hi Lisa :) love your videos, and your Teddy's are so cute :) I just wondered if it is possible to make your Teddy in fabric? the reason I am asking is that I want to try and make a memory bear (out of my Grand daughters onesies...never made any kind of bear before should be interesting) I needed a small or medium bear pattern, as I have only got small size onesies to work with....and I thought your bear pattern might be small or big enough to fit all the onesie fabrics on your pattern....maybe lol.... If it isn't possible to make your bear in fabric....would you be kind enough to make a Teddy Bear pattern for a memory bear (small and maybe medium options, and show how to make one please that would be awesome and very much appreciated thank you :) Any help and advice on this subject would be great thank you :) keep up the great work....love all that you do, you are very talented and creative :) have a lovely day, stay safe and well :) thank you for sharing your talents :) magz :)
Yes! I will be making a bear pattern for you all suitable for fabric! In the meantime, you can make this one up in what I call “ Felt Fabric” it is fabric fused to felt using heat and bond, I have A video which shows you how. It’s called, How to prepare Felt for sewing, I hope this helps 😊
Hi Elma, this one is specifically designed for felt because of the easy closings, Have a look at my video list for other Bear options, my Memory bear is popular for those fabrics 🥰
Hi Lisa, amazing love your work and very inspiring,I used this pattern to make 3 memory bears for a neighbour who lost her husband and loved how they turned out, now I’m wondering whether I could use this pattern to make bears in cotton to sell?
Hi Ruth, I use felt for this one because of the blanket stitch closings, however you could use “Felt/fabric” which is felt fused to cotton print fabric using fusible web. That way you can benefit from the print and the raw edges are no fray because of the felt. I have a video called Prepare your felt for sewing where I show you this technique. I would love to see your results!🥰
@@payitforward9442 ,Lisa thought a would show you what I made and although I didn’t stitch on outside because of fray edges,I was happy with them,I didn’t see your comment till I had finished them so used a double fabric using the heat and bond,for some reason I can’t seem to post photos,but if I can’t post here will send in an email,and would love your feedback
I am so glad I found you. I was searching youtube for a teddy bear pattern because I felt led to make stuffed animals to donate to salvation army or some other facilities that give to children at Christmas time. Do I have your permission to use your pattern for this? It would surely be a blessing for the children receiving them. Your videos are so perfect, and the children that recieve these toys will surely love them, as they are beautifully made and sturdily constructed. Thank you so much for your tutorials,I have subscribed.
Hi Sharon and Welcome! I’m happy you found me too! You are most Welcome to create for your cause using any of my Patterns, It is the Best way to PayItForward! I hope you will enjoy sewing with me🥰🤗
Hi Lisa, love your video's. Thank you so much for the pattern. I've been searching for a teddy bear pattern i like the look of and i absolutely love this one, it's so cute. I have never made a soft toy before but my granddaughter who is almost 6 has recently lost her mother a month ago and she has just included on her santa list a teddy with her mammy on it. So i thought i could make your bear out of her mother's snoody (i think that's what you call it) it's a kind of hoody for slouching around the house in. She wore it quite often as it was comfy and roomy. There is no label on it but i think it's a kind of faux fur type of material, almost like a crushed velvet but with a bit more length to the fur. The inside is like a wool type of look. Do you think it would be possible for me to use this material for this pattern please? I was thinking of including a heart shape onto the front with a velcro fastening so as when opened she would see a picture of her mother inside the heart. I'm hoping to print onto transfer paper an image of her mother and iron it onto a piece of material that i can sew inside the heart. Thank you for any advice or help you may be able to provide. Thank you Cathy xxx
Hi Cathy! Sound like you have some fab ideas there, I would recommend you make up my Memory Bear pattern for those fabrics, It is a larger bear (all the better for snuggling) and easier to manage. Make sure you interface all your fabrics first. See my Memory Bear video for all the details! Happy sewing 🥰
Would velvet or cotton fabric work? I'm asking because I don't have felt. Thank you for your time to do this. I just made my first plush (a narwhal pattern that I made) and I love making plushies!
Hi Erica! This one is designed especially for felt because of the closings, so I would recommend staying with that. I will be doing a full fabric Bear soon, stay tuned!🥰🤗
@@payitforward9442 okay thank you so very much. I look forward to the full fabric. In the meantime I will probably do this teddy bear. It is SOOOOOO cute. Again thank you for this.
Hi Rhonda, I buy mine locally here in Australia, however, I have a video all about Jointing with joints I put together myself, lots of info in that one. 🥰
I call my husband Teddy Bear and he calls me Teddy women, So I am going to make a cute little Bear couple . Thank you so very much. I love your patterns. God Bless
Finally following the tutorial exactly but wow... using the double felt with heat and bond on the arms and legs has used so much more felt and my poor machine has had such a hard time going through 4 layers and the heat and bond. I have a brother tough and heavy machine. In the red used a needle size 100 and it thumped through. The result was awful 😖 😱 😨 x oh dear..just found out I'm using a no sew heat and bond. What a fool!! Xxx
Hi Lisa. I thought I uploaded a comment but it disappeared on me. I was just wondering about the pastels - are the soft oil pastels the same thing? Thank you

You have fabulous videos, watched the unicorn one earlier, and I felt that I could make it after watching you ... reading patterns just confuses me
Hi Paula, that makes me very happy to hear, I hope you give it a go, I’ll be cheering you on!🥰🤗
