DIY: Fleece Bear Couple ...

Hi,

I adore these cute guys...

fleece bear stuffie pattern + tutorial

This post was originally shared at Skip to My Lou for the Holiday Bake Craft Sewalong.

Materials:
*1/4 yard fleece
*needle + embriodery floss
*ribbon
*fiberfill 
*rattle insert (optional)
*bear stuffie pattern

Tutorial:

Print out the pattern pieces and cut two body pieces and 4 ear pieces.

 Add eyes and a mouth with embroidery floss. Follow the markings on the pattern or make up your own face!

 Sew two ear pieces together with right sides together using a 1/4" seam allowance. Repeat for the other ear.

 Turn them right sides out and pin them to the top of your bear.

 Lay the second body piece on top and pin all around.

 Sew together, leaving a 2" opening at the bottom.

 Turn.

 Fill with fiberfill.

Then pin the bottom and handstitch it closed.

Sew on a bow! If you're making this for a boy, you can use the ribbon as a bow tie instead of a hair bow.

And then you're done!
