The inspiration first hit with this charming Elvis Vermont Teddy Bear my husband gave me when we were first dating. In taking a look at the jumpsuit here, I began to take a few measurements.... And from there, I took some of the Simplicity patterns (this is based on #3723) and adapted them to bear size. Another take on that colonial costume. This took a bit of trial and error to get the fit right. Remember that gypsy costume you saw in the earlier post? This was adapted from Simplicity patterns 2331 & 5359. Second variation on the gypsy costume with a bit more contrast in the colors. After Elvis, this became my personal favorite Gotta get more bears! These are truly great for stress relief - Just looking at them cheers me up.
