This memory bear is made from a shirt or the clothing of someone who has passed or matured. It is a perfect way to memorialize a loved one! The bear is a excellent size to hold at night or display on a shelf. It can make a very touching gift for a friend or family member who has lost someone they love. This bear was 100% designed and created by me ,Sunny Rodriguez.  Sorry, I am not selling the pattern for others to sew at this time. The bears are 14.5" in a sitting position. We do not offer the option to scale down the size of the pattern. All bears are cut from the same pattern size.****Compatible Fabrics****These bears can be made from   flannel button down shirtsPantsHoodiesUniformsSweatshirts,dress shirts, blankets ***Fabrics that require the purchase of stabilizer****Tshirts , golf polos , chiffon, sweaters, pajama pants, dresses, women's polyester shirts, thermals, knits,  heavily worn, Thin or See-Through fabrics will require stabilizer. You can find the option for stabilizer in my shop for a $15 charge per bear. No two bears will look alike. These bears are handmade.  The fabric will dictate how the bear will look. Firm fabrics like denim will make a stiff solid bear while a bear made from a sweatshirt will make a softer cuddly bear. If you are curious if a fabric will work please contact me! Leather jackets, blazers, coats made of down feathers, and fur coats are not recommended for this item. Bears will recieve collars only if the shirt had a collar. Other garmets that do not come with a collar or button down strip will receive a bow. Message me if you want the fabric to be a specific color. Or you can send another item of clothing to make the bow with.The nose of the bear is black. If you plan to  send a black fabric it may not stand out.Size Shirts that can be used:Medium long sleeve or larger.  If the shirt that is provided has a collar, one bear will have a collar, the other bear will have a bow. A short sleeve XL shirt will only make one bear. Clothing can shrink in the wash or run smaller in size. I see this more often in women's clothing. Small or smaller shirts will not make a bear. However you can provide more then one shirt to help complete a bear.  I suggest long sleeved shirts be sent.I can also purchase matching fabric to help complete a bear if there isn't enough. EmbroideryEmbroidery can be placed on the chest or foot. Only 7 letters will fit on one foot. The heart can be plain or have the poem "This is the shirt I used to wear".For embroidery we offer No embroideryEmbroidery on one foot Embroidery on both feet Poem or name and dates on the heart  Please be very sure about the correct spelling of name or accurate date, you give me to embroider. I can only redo an embroidered piece if there is enough fabric available. There will be a $5 charge to correct any errors.Please provide your embroidery information in the message to seller section. You can also label the clothing that you send, but all embroidery must be written in our messages. We like to copy and paste the embroidery to prevent human error. The bear's right foot is on the left side of the picture. Please provide embroidery with the right foot first ,when purchasing embroidery on both feet. For example Bob Jones Right foot would be Bob, left foot would be Jones. Each bear is specifically designed to use the details available to resemble the the shirt as much as possible. If the shirt has a button collar, zipper collar, button down strip, buttoned shoulder tabs, buckles, lace, sequins, beads, embroidery or a picture , I do my best to  add it to the bear. The bear will not recieve these details if a customer requests they be left off or if it wont cut or sew. If you are unsure, you can always message me!  Details that interfere with the construction of the bear will have to be left off. If you are unsure if a detail can be kept ,please contact me .
