I created my Calico Bear pattern as a Signature Bear in 2008 but over the years I have noticed lots of people sew lovely keepsakes with this bear pattern. All it takes to create a unique gift is some used clothing and a bit of time to recycle some used clothing into a special keepsake toy.

 

Look at these cute memory bears sewn from shirts!

First up we show you some very cute versions of the Calico Memory Bear Pattern sewn as keepsakes so you can see how to sew a memory bear from a shirt.
