Hello, I have never made a bear or any type of stuff animal.  I joined because I am looking for patterns but not sure what terms to use while searching. I have spent a good hr on etsy looking for patterns to buy but only can find one that looks like what I am looking for.

I am looking for a pattern of a sitting bear(any animal) with fore arms on ground.
I am also looking for laying down dog ?

any suggestions welcome

Hello!
Any pattern that is meant for a jointed bear would be ok, as with jointed arms and legs, you can sit the bear and position his arms as you wish. If you have never tried making teddies, I would suggest you to buy a book on teddy bear making, or you would be in deep trouble I think! :-)

Thanks Francesca, my mom is going to help me ( she sews and crochet she even made us toys when I was young )  we just need a pattern. What I want to make is not a teddy per say lol  The jointed bears are not what I am looking for ( I found millions of patterns on that type of bear)

I did more searching and found two patterns on a supply site. Funny thing is I found vendor on Etsy with the patterns I wanted but the store closed ( due to computer crashing ) right when I was about to order

Thank you Donna and Becky I was eying the springtime designs.  Lisa's designs look great also. I will see if I can sketch my design I hope it looks nice. I plan to make a realistic poodle puppy with polymer clay and fabric this should be fun
