Making a memory bear

[@Katbird88]

I really like this video, actually showing how you make bear, without all the distraction of chatter

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

Thank you so much!

[@olgasbeautymakeup7204]

Awe, my pleasure! Thank you for watching!

[@lisamannino4556]

Nice job. What size bear? Where do I get the pattern? What type of interfacing did you use?

[@dh5549]

I believe it's a Carol Zoo pattern.

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

I’m sorry I missed this comment! Yes it’s a Carol zoo pattern. I got it from Etsy

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

I received some requests to do a video with commentary on how I made a memory bear. I created a playlist with all 5 videos on the memory bear tutorial. Go here for the playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLYO3qVNM15hDFDlms2cvK3_xaJJan-0xp

I had someone make one out of my dads work and pj t shirt bc he died when I was four I wear his other work t shirt to bed btw that bear looked amazing well done

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

Thank you so much for your compliments ♥️ I’m so glad you have a special keepsake to remind you of your dad!

[@pattihohn4332]

I have the same pattern but haven’t made them yet. What size bear did you make in this video?

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

The bear I made measures 15” inches in height

@@lujoypursesandsuch8073 thank you!!

[@zrm_gm3518]

hello. This is really nice. Where can I get the pattern?

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

I would search for ‘memory bear pattern’ on Etsy, there’s tons of options!

[@carole8142]

You can hold a piece of parchment paper onto the screen when you have paused it then cut it out while holding the paper. All done.

[@sandrahall9030]

@@lujoypursesandsuch8073 there aren't a lot options with just 2 pattern pieces like yours.

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

@@sandrahall9030 this is a really old pattern, I’m going to see if I can figure out which pattern it is and where it came from. If not, I’ll do some research for other 2 piece bear patterns 🙂

@@lujoypursesandsuch8073 Thanks I appreciate that. It makes an easy and attractive.bear, that's for sure.

[@o9ronaldo09]

Very nice. How much do you charge?

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

Thank you! They are $45 each

[@teresiastepp3551]

Where do we get the pattern from

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

I’ve found them on Etsy, and also in my local craft/fabric store

[@PatriciaSalsedo-kq4bv]

Nice

[@barbarapisarski4144]

My OCD is wanting those plaid stripes to match up more. Sorry, otherwise he is really cute.

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

Sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes it doesn’t! I worry more about the face lining up correctly

[@barbarapisarski4144]

@@lujoypursesandsuch8073 gotcha! I just did a striped one and the same thing, but not so terrible. lol

[@jayamary7004]

What is this white material,?????

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

Maybe it’s the interfacing?

[@bethanybarrett4872]

What's a memory bear

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

It’s a bear made out of a loved ones clothing-normally someone who isn’t with us anymore

[@catdee9981]

I wish this was a bit slower with an explanation as to what was being done. It was ok bit not the best to follow.

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

Hi, Cat! I have a whole playlist on how to make this memory bear with explanations. It’s broken up into 5 videos so it goes pretty slow 😊

[@brendaschaub8292]

Would have been nice if you explained as you went along what you were doing, instead of saying nothing!

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

If there is interest in this I can definitely do another video where I explain my steps! My KZbin videos started out so I could show my customers how I make things, just for fun, so there wasn’t really a need to talk in the beginning. But I would love to make another one for you! I’ll come back here and let you know when it’s done-probably a few weeks.

[@brendaschaub8292]

@@lujoypursesandsuch8073 That would be awesome, because the pattern you’re using is the one I have, but I don’t know how to do darts. Thank you.

[@brendaschaub8292]

@@lujoypursesandsuch8073 Also is it necessary to interface if you’re using flannel material?

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

@@brendaschaub8292 I think it is! It eliminates any stretching at all. I think everything comes together better and the end result looks better when interfacing is used, even on flannel. I use pellon P44F. It’s very lightweight and even when it’s not on sale it’s .99 a yard. I can usually get it for .50 a yard. Hope that helps!

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

@@brendaschaub8292 also, do you mind sharing what the pattern is called? There are some people wondering and I don’t have the sleeve anymore, just the worn out pattern.

Finding it difficult to follow,

[@lujoypursesandsuch8073]

Hi, Dorothy! I have a video series that goes through this process slower. If you would like to sew along with the videos, it would be perfect for you! Let me know if that’s what you’re looking for

[@dorothymistry1348]

@@lujoypursesandsuch8073 I’m sure that would be helpful, I can sew most things but I think the viewing of the video was obscured a lot
