What is a Memory Bear or Rabbit

[@jljl24]

This looks like the easiest memory bear/rabbit I've seen. Thank you from a beginner sewer

[@ChrisJones-yb9uo]

Love your videos and your Featherweight! I finally got my first one (Centennial model) and love it! I'm making my 2nd memory bear from Carol's Zoo pattern & using stretchy fabric. Can you advise what type of stretchy stabilizer you mention in this video please? Keep making those great videos with such fabulous tips & tricks! Thank you.

[@Earthtomoony]

Your voice is so lovely and mellow! I felt very relaxed as I watched this tutorial

[@susanmoulton4760]

I have two of Carol's patterns, the rabbit and the bear family. If you read the instructions, you are not supposed to but poly-fil in the ears. They are to remain floppy. I have made my rabbit that way and it is much cuter.

[@ForGodsolove]

I just made this watching your video and my bunny looks amazing! It is such an easy pattern to fallow, it is vital to fallow the instructions, thank you for making your tutorial so easy!

[@craftymom7]

Such a cute bear/rabbit project. I love the sweater that you used. The use of stablizer, is genious!!!!!!

[@SewVeryEasy]

+craftymom7 Thanks, the stabilizer works great for this, thanks for watching

[@rhondafosson9219]

The pattern link you provided is no longer available. Can you help me find it? I love this idea & would really like to give it a try! Thank you!

[@papablesss4341]

my friend cuaght me watching this and she said only my grandmother does stuff like this, it's sad what most people in my generation ttnink :(

[@SewVeryEasy]

+~KawaiiKitty~ Yes a lot of people feel that way...but...you and I know better. Sewing and crafting is BACK and in a BIG way! Try to get her to help you and you might get a new/old sewing friend:)

[@collettewilson5768]

maybe you could start a new tradition

[@tineshanicoleconway6139]

~KawaiiKitty~ Don't worry about what she thinks, you need only worry about what you think!! Sew on!! 😁

[@tanatori9360]

~KawaiiKitty~ don't let negativity stop you !

[@Marigoldmoo]

I’m in the new generation and I sew

[@pattysherwood7091]

My mom taught me to embroider the eyes and nose if it is for a child, because they might chew off and choke on button eyes or plastic eyes / nose.

[@izabeau1953]

I love that idea, a memory bear. What a nice idea. I must look for a pattern for that, not sure where. As I am not in my own country. 🤷🏼‍♀️🥺 ...🌹❤️🌹❤️

[@sarahdixon4862]

As I was searching through KZbin for something to make with old baby clothes this morning (because I had tried to make a memory bear with another pattern and failed miserably at it) I found this tutorial and I am so glad that I did! Finally figured out how to do it thank you thank you thank you !!! This pattern was worth the $ for sure - Sarah Beth

[@pattysherwood7091]

Great idea to use my adorable baby dresses and favorite outfits for something like a memory bear! Thank you for mentioning it in a comment three years ago!!

[@alilee7410]

I LOVE this idea, brilliant, how cute is that Rabbit :0) so clever, thank you Laura.

[@pattysherwood7091]

I am looking at the memory bear video and saw in the end it was a rabbit! I had to laugh because when my kids were young l called all their stuffed animals the Bears.

[@eileenfb1948]

This is a lovely idea. It takes quite a bit of fabric so it would take a few pieces of a child's clothing. Lovely to have as a memory.

[@SewVeryEasy]

+eileenfb1948 I think it would look cute if each piece was from a different piece of clothing:)

[@eileenfb1948]

A patchwork bear.

[@SewVeryEasy]

how cute:)

[@louettesommers8594]

Hi Laura, I hope all is well with you and your family. Did you also do a video for making a memory bear? I really appreciate your videos and your great teaching. Thank you in advance.

[@lilianamihai8632]

Just ordered the patterns on Carol's site. Thank you for the idea, you're a genious!

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Liliana MIHAÏ What animal did you buy? There are so many to choose from, and I love them all. You will love the pattern it really is easy:)

[@lilianamihai8632]

+SewVeryEasy the rabbit, the polar bear family and the Carol's bear. And, of course, plenty of eyes and noses :)

[@SewVeryEasy]

:)

[@ForGodsolove]

Would it be possible that I can buy the Carol's bear patter from you? Its almost impossible to find one

[@lizzystitch4842]

Oh my...such a GOOD idea, Laura! The idea of making it from a sweater, lined with stabilizer, is perfect! Thanks for this idea!

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Elizabeth Hansen You are "sew"welcome and thanks for watching

[@kathlelenkroha8406]

hello i realize that this video is 7 years ago I was hoping you could show us how to do the bear and how to line up the pattern, I just purchased this and would love a newer version. Thank you for all you do I do enjoy watching you. I did not realize that you did this. I was looking for a bear pattern and found that you did this video .

[@ghost_cookie1236]

Can you use a knitted jumper and if so what’s the best way

[@dharmendraagnihotri7889]

Namaste Mam You have learned to make very easily. now i can do my business

[@PrinceRowen]

Hello! I really want to try making this rabbit, but I'm not sure where I would go about getting knitted cloth to construct it with. I don't have any clothes that have the same look to it myself. Do you think I should try looking at thrift stores for the material? Or might I be able to find this kind of knitted material at somewhere like JoAnn's? Love your videos, by the way!

[@SewVeryEasy]

I would try a thrift shop or ask a few friends, you never know:)

[@RustyPenPaper]

I ordered the lovely pattern and am so excited to make this for my nephew. He loves stuffed toys! I am curious what size eyes and nose were used??? So I can order too.....ty so much for sharing all your expertise with us.! I know I am thoroughly grateful as I have noone in my family to help me sew. Ty

[@SewVeryEasy]

I order the eyes from the same site. That way I had the right size :)

[@cynthiadeslauriers2978]

I will definitely try to make this. I am a Gold Star Mom and have some of my son's uniforms/civilian clothes. Think the stuffed animals will bring a smile to us.

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Cynthia DesLauriers very cute, what a treasure for years to come:)

[@tobythompson55]

Would you use fusible interfacing if using cotton fabric or Minky fabric?

[@lindielee6322]

Churn Dash in pink behind you is so sweet!

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Lindie Lee Thanks here is the video pattern. This one is just in pink. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzZhoWqj91mrM0

[@ShannonFabrics]

Hi there- So cute! We LOVE Carol's patterns. It would be fun to see you do a video in Cuddle® fabric! :) Thanks, Ellen

[@SewVeryEasy]

I would love to:)

[@vernegarlock4169]

Absolutely loved this video, unbelievable how much this helped me. Gained so much needed knowledge, I'm more eager than ever to make some. Thank you very much.

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Verne Garlock You have to go check out all her other animals...all are very cute and easy to make. carolszoo.com/ thanks for watching

[@carolegroom5161]

Great tutorial, loved every minute of it great idea to use clothing for memory toy.

[@traceyoneill8627]

Lovely bunny.. what stitch did you use to close the back up?

[@SewVeryEasy]

a whip stitch

[@karenpaul6898]

What are those black dots for on the pattern? You didn't really show how you'd sew those pieces. Thanks

[@SewVeryEasy]

they are starting and stopping marks. :) thanks for asking

[@tinajohnson9631]

As always this is a GREAT tutorial. I am inspired to make one now!

[@lynnfrick6258]

Sew glad I found this, Laura! Especially because I happened to see there was a MOOSE pattern and my grandson's nursery theme is MOOSE! I want to make one of these for him out of an assortment of his first year of clothes. Do you think that is doable? I don't sew all that much; more of a quilter, but I can sew some things (and many times, thanks to YOU!) so I want to make sure using different pieces of clothing would be doable. I love the idea of only two patterns! WHEW! Thanks for your help!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Oh Yes, I think it would be great:) Let me know how it works out for you

[@roxanneloyst3733]

Hi Do you use interfacing in making your bears

[@SewVeryEasy]

with old fabric yes I do :)

[@marilynhamilton8449]

[@SewVeryEasy]

+Veronica Mac Loughlin glad you like it:)

[@tsilsby888]

Thanks! As always, your videos are very helpful.

[@toynama]

I am a little slow. I complete the rabbit. However the sewing was a bit difficult. the back is larger than the front.

[@SewVeryEasy]

The fabric does make a difference. Some fabric makes it easier and some a little more difficult. If you were to try it again in a different fabric you will see the difference:) It is a fun project!

[@toynama]

SewVeryEasy I loved the challenge Difficult did not stop me. Since my first comment, I have 4 cut out and ready to sew. I am using the soft and cuddly. I am saying difficult because the back is longer than the front.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Yes I agree, and I am so happy you are making more. I have made a bunch of these too:)

The pattern links go to an unsafe page to download ;n;

[@SewVeryEasy]

Vasiliki Sagitario I'm not sure what you're seeing, but I go to the site weekly and I've never had a problem. you're good to go. I will definitely reach a check out the link for you

[@salsavalentina7703]

SewVeryEasy How cute of you, thank you. Probably the problem is that I tried to open it in a tablet instead of a computer, I'll check it out when I have the time.

[@girlscouts9244]

What the heck dude!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant even make them you said they were easy to make!!!!!!

[@oneilanelson9231]

That's not a bear but a rabbit

[@kathleenk7726]

that's cute, but isn't it a rabbit?

[@SewVeryEasy]

+kathleen Kenyon Yes it is, I just wanted to show that any animal is OK to do. The rabbit was chosen because the lady who owned the sweater loved rabbits. happy sewing:)

[@kathleenk7726]

Thanks, just making sure I wasn't going nuts :) perfect timing, I lead a GriefShare group and one of the women in the group was asking about a memory bear! Will be making one soon. (Think I'll ask her if she wants a rabbit!

[@SewVeryEasy]

+kathleen Kenyon Check and see what her favorite animals is because Carols Zoos has lots of different animals to chose from.
