The Hipster Teddy Bear PDF sewing pattern is a modern teddy bear that both girls and boys will love. My daughter wanted a bear to sleep with and I didn’t love any of the patterns on the market, so I made one! Designed for confident beginners, it would be a perfect ‘first softie’ project. Appliqueing the face and turning the thinner limbs right side out can take a bit of patience, but it’s worth it!
A finished softie measures approximately 20” (50.8cm) from ear to toe – it’s a nice big bear that doesn’t use up a ton of fabric. The limbs are soft and squishy, making it perfect to drag along or hug.

Originally released in the e-magazine One Thimble, you can see all the other patterns included in this issue above; isn’t it a fun collection! You can buy the whole issue here* and get the Hipster Teddy Bear included, or buy the pattern by itself in my shop.
My kids LOVE that they can “cross” the bears arms, it cracks my toddler up.

Aren’t they all so cute? I have lots of plans for the Hipster Teddy Bear, I think it would be perfect for a “memory bear” sewn from someone’s clothes. I’d love to hear what you think of the pattern!
