About the teddy bear sewing pattern

A teddy bear should not be missing in any children’s room or nursery, so here’s the kullaloo pattern for the classic among the cuddly toys: teddy bear JOSHI. With his almost 20″ (50 cm) from head to toe, JOSHI has the perfect size for hugging and cuddling. The bear pattern is also perfect for sewing a memory bear to create a keepsake of the one you love. To sew JOSHI, you should have sewing experience and 4-5 hours of time.

Using JOSHI as a memory bear pattern

Memory bears are sewn from a loved one’s clothing or other fabric of sentimental value. Usually, you make these keepsakes in remembrance of a loved one so that they provide comfort during times of grief. A memory bear can also help ease the pain of missing someone who is not with you at that moment, or simply be a cuddly reminder of the person you love. With our memory bear pattern sewing such a keepsake is explained in great detail, with some useful tips on working with garment als the basic material for the teddy bear.

Important: NO EMBROIDERY MACHINE is required to applique the face elements! You can do the appliqués with a simple sewing machine and a double-sided iron-on adhesive webbing like Heat’n Bond. We explain how to do this in great detail in the sewing instructions. You can also find video instructions for doing appliqués with a sewing machine on our Youtube channel. However, if you HAVE an embroidery machine, you can also buy the sewing pattern with the matching teddy bear face embroidery design!

    This bear turned out great! I made one for each of my kids using their old clothes. Very cute bear and pattern was easy to follow.

    my review is that these bears are super cute and I would like to make one for a loved one who passed away here recently to remember her

    Great pattern, lots of pictures, detailed explanations, instructions, and techniques. Seller was great when I reached out with questions about fabrics. Thanks!

    Customer service was great, I had problems finding where to download the pattern but owner’s were quick to respond and very helpful! Im not an avid sewer but this pattern was pretty easy to follow with pages of step by step directions- numbers of instruction coinciding with pictures. I made 3 memory bears using my father in laws shirts who recently passed away, kids love them and now have a piece of their grandpa close by!

    Simple to print out and put together. I didn’t read the instructions and it still turned out great.

    Bought this pattern with great expectation. Was very disappointed when it was finished. The feet and body are too big for the head and arms. Will not make anothet. 😩

    Great,easy to follow pattern. The bear turned out amazing!

  12. Etsy customer View on Etsy |

    The download pattern is great but when it is printed the font is too faint to read clearly. Would be better if the print was black rather than grey. I then have to rely on the onscreen version which is ok but I like a printed copy

    Super cute pattern, easy to follow!

  14. Etsy customer View on Etsy |

    I absolutely love this pattern, I have made several memory bears using the pattern and think they’re the perfect, huggable size.
