It has given him so much comfort since he received it on his birthday last October. So much so, that he asked for clothes to dress it, as he takes it everywhere. Not finding anything online, I took a chance on going to Build a bear and bought a few things. (I think the pants fit well, but were a little on the short side.) Anyhow, I plan to make a couple of patterns by just using the basic pant and top I'd purchased, so that I could make him a few more items. PM me for more info if you want.

To make it even more interesting, some of these patterns have two different Simplicity pattern numbers. Go figure. Occasionally, these still show up on eBay or Etsy. Try searching for the phrase: Sew-A-Bear Or search by "Simplicity pattern number" The basic bear pattern (4623 -- also known as 5278) includes 2 sizes of bears (15" and 18") and patterns for shorts and T-shirts (for both size bears). Other patterns were for clothing only (for both sizes of Sew-A-Bears): 5280 - Ballerina tutu, Bridal dress and veil, Soccer outfit, Cheerleader outfit. 5283 (also seen as 4624): Party dress, Swim suit with coverup and visor hat, T-shirt and shorts, PJ/Clown costume. Includes pattern for sandals. CMC

I think that I will have to draft the patterns using Cabbage patch patterns as slopers? Pam

I thought about this earlier today, but got caught up in sewing a school play costume for my niece.
