A bear built from twelve separate pieces, which is the whole point: each panel of the face, body, ears and paws can come from a different fabric. Made from scraps it's a patchwork teddy. Made from a baby's outgrown clothes, or from a shirt that belonged to someone, it's something else entirely.
Every piece is small enough to cut from a sleeve or a collar, and the pattern tells you which ones need stabilising when you're working with jersey, flannel or worn cotton.
