Every panel can be a different fabric, which means every panel can come from somewhere.
A baby's first sleepsuit. A favourite shirt. A school uniform, a wedding dress offcut, a grandparent's apron. The bear is built from separate pieces — split head, split body, four limbs, two ears — so you can place a different fabric in each and turn a pile of keepsakes into something that sits on a shelf and gets hugged.
Or just use fat quarters. Gingham, calico florals and polka dots give it the soft vintage look in the photo, and the same pattern works both ways.
A classic seated bear shape with a rounded head, a softly curved body and chunky limbs that let it sit up on its own. Safety eyes or embroidered eyes, a felt nose, and firm stuffing.
