Calico the SIGNATURE Bear PATTERN Finished Size: SITTING 30cm/12″ (STANDING 40cm/16″)

It took me a while to make the Funky Friends Factory signature bear with a cute smiley face but I think he’s turned out rather sweet! This teddy bear sewing pattern is button-jointed. (If you want a non-jointed bear try Melody Memory Bear Pattern). Signature bears are a fun way to record an event or celebration, special occasion – new baby, christenings, weddings, parties, 21st birthdays and, of course, graduations.  A unique, homemade personalised bear will be a treasured keepsake for years to come.

RECOMMENDED FABRICS:

I used calico fabric (muslin) but Calico Bear doesn’t have to be a signature bear. LOTS of people use this teddy bear sewing pattern to sew lovely keepsakes using baby clothes or make memory bears as bereavement bears to remember loved ones.
