    Thank you. I made this bear years ago but lost my directions. You made it so much easier. Thanks

    Thank you for both the rabbit and the bear! It's so hard to find videos where I can understand what is going on! I realized today you have not been around for a while. I know it must be extremely hard to do these videos. I want you to know how grateful I am that you took the time to do these as well as your other videos.

    Thank you! My mom passed away and I bought this pattern to make some memory bears with her t-shirts. This video is soooo helpful, even 6 years after you first posted it. Feeling confident I won't make a huge mess of it now. :)

    Thank you so much for doing these videos. I don’t think I would have understood how to make these without watching. I couldn’t really understand the instruction sheet that came with the patterns, I would most likely have continued to make mistakes and then given up trying in frustration. You have been a service to Simplicity, thank you. I will look forward to watching your other videos. 😊

    Thank you so much for this video! It was my first time using a pattern and I’d have been clueless without watching this. I’ve managed to make a lovely bear for my new niece 😊

    I made this bear the other day, the first pattern and make i've attempted. Wish I'd seen there was a video first! This is really nice of you to put a tutorial out, i'll need to look on here from now on before I try anything :'D Worked out surprisingly well but the help you give in this video would have made it a lot easier I'm sure! :)

    Thank you for posting this. We are about to make memory bears. The pattern didn't say anything about sewing the darts at the feet. Now I can confidently sew these memory bears! 😍
    I want the bunny for myself. It's so cute!

    Thank you so much watching this and the rabbit has helped me so much. I have never used a pattern before so it was lovely of you to show us how to make them. Being a newbey was scary when i 1st opened the pattern 🙈. But I have now made my 1st rabbit thanks to your video. Thanks again 🥰 from Donna

  • @paulasiefert2059
    @paulasiefert2059 9 месяцев назад

    Thank you so much! You confirmed what I suspected- the darts in the foot should absolutely be done prior to stitching the perimeter . The pattern specifically tell you to stich the foot dart after the rest of the seams. I've been sewing for most of my 65 years, that just didn't make sense to me.

  • @maryfromthemountains
    @maryfromthemountains 5 лет назад +2

    The instructions have you leave the top of the foot open and sew it after the front and back are sewn together. You're doing this differently. Why is that? Is it easier the way you're doing it?

    I liked your bear video. Any chance you could show how to make other stuffed toys or even animal cushions (like an owl), but hand stitched as I don't have a sewing machine. Thank you

    • @stitchtovictory5356
      @stitchtovictory5356  4 года назад

      Thank you for your comment. I have another soft toy video - how to sew a soft toy rabbit. It's very similar to this one and is derived from the same pattern. I'm sorry, but my videos are geared towards machine sewing, not hand sewing. However, you can pick up an entry level sewing machine quite cheaply from many of the chain stores. I would recommend you give it a go!

    • @stitchtovictory5356
      @stitchtovictory5356  4 года назад

      From memory, the eyes were approximately 15mm across but I just picked the ones that looked right and in proportion

    • @jeannettethompson1833
      @jeannettethompson1833 6 лет назад

      Rohaiza A.Karim yes managed to fit it. Secret is to sew it before you sew leg seams. Make sure you have the tops left and right I.e. the piece that drops is the toe.

  • @cookiebaer
    @cookiebaer 4 года назад

    I’ve watched the rabbit video and I’m confused by this one. The back you don’t say anything about pointed top and gave us no information on how to sew that. Including the bottom pieces

      They come in various sizes depending on the size of the toy you are making.
