Default Easy teddy-bear pattern?

My aunt is amazing, she recently gifted me with a really nice 1899 Singer and I want to make something special for her in return for this special gift.

My father (her baby brother) passed away several years ago and I've saved a lot of his clothes for a quilt I haven't made yet.

My aunt collects teddy bears, so my idea for a special gift is I'd like to sew a teddy bear for her, out of some of my father's clothes. I want to make it pretty big, maybe a foot tall from ears to toes. And I want to put a heart on his belly. It doesn't have to have jointed arms or legs.

I don't normally make stuffed animals...can anybody recommend an EASY teddy bear pattern? I figure I'll do a muslin test run before I try with my Dad's clothes...it'd be terrible if I wasted any of that precious fabric!!
