Hellooooo.....I had so much fun doing these that I am even going to give you all my pattern hahaha! Once you have all your bits & pieces for these little 6inch bears they come in so cheaply its daft! I started making these years ago for Church bazaars from my own pattern and they were really popular with little children. Great for babies if you are careful with the the faces! I love that they are never the same - its all in the ears hahaha! You can see that the bear with the bow has odd ears...that down to a stitch being different when I sewed around them hahaha!
I am hoping that you can save the pattern from here, if not leave a message & I will email you with it! This pattern is for a 6inch/30cm bear but could easily be enlarged. Or made even smaller hahaha!
Using the pattern cut out your bear. I used Calico which is double sided but if
you use one-sided fabric remember to cut half your pieces the other way! Using a
seam allowance of 5mm, sew up your seams in the following order (leaving a gap
in one of the centre body seams for turning & pressing as you go) - centre
body seams, centre head seams, head to body seams, ear pieces. Turn the ears and
pin/tack onto one of the heads to line up with the marks. With right sides
together join the back & front pieces together. Snip all the seams and turn,
stuff with washable stuffing (or you could use old tights) and sew up the gap in
the back seam. One bear finished!
I really hope that you have a go at these....PLEASE show me if you do!!!!

Now for my calendar page. I couldn't very well put a teddy on it so I just had the idea that its the month before my wedding anniversary and a certain someone keeps saying about Paris hahaha! Here is his hint...
I have used stamps from the lovely Oxford Impressions - Court of Versaille set for this and embossed in gold. Looks really sumptuous!
