I just talked to a friend yesterday, who lost her husband from Covid. She has two daughters. I offered to make two bear for her to gift to her daughter, that will be made from his clothes. Thank you Lisa. For all your patterns and tutorials. This is something I've always wanted to do. Now I can't stop. She said she would pay me. But I won't take any money from her. I'm paying it forward.

That bear is beautiful. I am so excited to see your "little things" projects. I am moving my small craft and sewing room to the larger room my son occupied in high school. I figure he can sleep in a small room 3 months of the year. 😅

Hahaha! I love this, yes he will be fine!😂

[@CorinneBriant-q5x]

Thank you so much for your patterns, I lost my Nan 2 weeks ago and have just started making bears from her clothes, it’s really helping keeping my mind busy. They all look like proper bears which is just how I wanted them to look. Thanks again xxx

[@ruthwinter9488]

Absolutely love this pattern, it inspired me to make it up using my mum's dressing gown, I used beads and embroidery threads that had belonged to her. Thank you Lisa you are truly an inspiration to many ❤

[@payitforward9442]

This sounds perfect Ruth! 🥰

[@payitforward9442]

You are so very Welcome!🥰

[@nys4825]

Beautiful bear.❤ I love the colours of the fabrics and felt, which make the bear look more gentle and tender. 🐻 Particularly I love the new technique you showed us - the embellishment around the paws. I'm now working on my giraffe but I'd like to try it (oops, the giraffe hasn't got a paw!) or something else, maybe the lazy daisy flowers on her head.❤ Anyway this beautiful memory bear is definitely included on my to-do list. Thank you so much for the pattern and detailed tutorial as always, Lisa. I watched it till the end while I was hand sewing my giraffe.😊

[@payitforward9442]

How exciting! I hope I get to see your Giraffe!🥰

[@annetteharris1894]

I'm new to watching your videos and new to some of the stitches that you are using. But I had to comment to tell you that your work is fantastic and your teaching is just as fantastic. Thank you for sharing your talent

[@karma-police]

Thank you so much Lisa ❤

[@LauraHogue100]

I really love this teddy’s beautiful shape, and I especially like the different shape of his ears pulled together more at the base like a Winnie the Pooh sort of look. I REALLY like that he is meant to make up in wools. I can see him made up in wool with all sorts of scraps of vintage ribbons and embroideries added.

[@payitforward9442]

Sounds wonderful, I hope I get to see!🥰

[@carolinarkasas26]

Oh, I dearly love this bear. I have some western shirts that were my father's (Grampy) and I'm trying to figure out ho I can use them to make something for my daughters. He's been gone 5 yrs. now. I just can't quite figure out how to use them on a bear, and I love the looks of this one. Wish the fabric I have would work. Sigh... but gosh, he's a cutie- I love this style. Love him Lisa!

[@jaytopham8514]

Hi Lisa. What a beautiful character bear. Really enjoyed your video with very helpful tips on the stuffing, shading and head position. Its made my day seeing you and learning with you as have been feeling unwell today. A kind lady has given me a lot of upholstery off cuts which included, shall I say, a sort of velvet like fabric. Do you think the bear could be made up in that? I look forward to the next video, sending love from here in the UK

[@payitforward9442]

This Bear would be divine in a velvet! Sending warm hugs to you my friend, feel better soon 🥰

Do you have a source for the joints? I can only find cotter pin joints and yours look different in the video. Thank you. I'm excited to try out the pattern.
