Review: A personal touch. - I made these, they where easy and good fun.
Review: My first time using a pattern. It turned out great! - This was my first time using a pattern and it turned out really good for a beginner! Some advice I have for making this: 1. It would have been way easier to make of I hadn't used furry fabric. Furry fabric is hard to use and so messy! But it does hide bad stitching easier so that's something. 2. Look up youtube video tutorials for this exact pattern. 3. Darts were hard to understand but once I understood one the rest were simple. Sew them with the right side of the fabric touching the right side but then sew it from the wrong side. Darts are used to add volume to the project. Without them the plush would be flat. 4. You'll need two of each pattern piece. Cut one with the pattern backwards and one with the pattern forwards. 5. Make sure you have good proper fabric scissors. 6. I bought one yard of fabric but didn't need that much. I had enough to make an extra piece when I messed up cutting with plenty left over for another. 7. This took me about 5-6 hours to make but I hand-sewed it. With a machine this would probably take an hour or less.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many pieces are in the pattern for the bear all photos show a single piece of fabric and I want options to use several different pieces o fabrics**
A: The pattern is 2 pieces.  Front and back. Could use 4 different fabrics.  Plus a tail.   If you want more individual pieces, use Simplicity C5461.

**Q: Why do the animals on the pattern front look like they aren't flat but one of the reviews shows a flat animal?**
A: This pattern is not for flat animals however it really is up to you on how much filler material you put in and how closely you follow the directions, you will notice in the  review pictures as well some very full round looking animals

**Q: How much material does it take to make a bear?**
A: I didn’t buy material I used my husbands flannel shirts . Made the bears for my grandkids as a keepsake for there pawpaw who died.

**Q: What kind of stuffing do you use**
A: I buy inexpensive bed pillows and use the stuffing from those.  I packed it pretty good.  My granddaughter loved it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not too hard
*by A***. on July 10, 2024*

I wanted to make bears from my grandpa’s sweaters for his grandkids to have. I was super nervous since once I cut them up, I couldn’t go back. This pattern made it a fairly simple process. Calls for safety eyes but I also used noses. I’m not a complete beginner but I’m certainly not a pro and they turned out pretty cute. *The pattern doesn’t have the patches for the tummy and ear inserts. I added those so each bear had all patterns included. I just cut out their shapes on copy paper and embroidery stitched them to the panels before assembling the bears.
