What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
This one of the few free bear patterns on the internet that came with pictures, some instructions, and didn't require leg or arm joints. She does warn on her pattern that this is not for beginners, and includes some directions. I thought the pattern pieces were great, with lots of numbered and lettered points for matching edges.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I wanted a smaller bear, so I printed the pattern four sheets to a page. I wouldn't go any smaller, and it was a bit difficult, but it worked out well.

Conclusion:
If you take your time matching up the pieces and figuring out the construction, you'll have a super cute little bear!

Were the instructions easy to follow?
The instructions included pictures, which I love, but were also a bit confusing, with the written instructions often conflicting with what the captions next to the pictures instruct you to do.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes
