Looking for an EASY memory bear pattern? 

Ben the BEGINNER bear pattern is perfect for you – this cute chubby baby bear is easy to sew, with no complicated arm or leg joints. This Ben the Beginner Bear was sewn by Lindsey  Mortimer of Mortimer’s Handmade Memory Keepsakes. at a smaller than usual size, 80% of the pattern size. She helpfully placed a water bottle next to it for reference. Ben is a petit 10 inches tall at 80%, versus his normal 12 inches tall.

 

AND Carol Jenkins gave Ben the BEGINNER bear a fuzzy and feminine  look with this fancy fabric. The tiny floral print is a nice contrast.
