Thank you ALL for your kind words! They are greatly appreciated.

A few of you asked about a pattern. It was one I drew up myself. I have a friend who makes jointed plush bears professionally and I learned from her. My bears weren't fully jointed but if you search "joint plush bear patterns or tutorials" online or even pinterest, you can find them. This pattern was the same for each of the bears with the exception of the nose, which I altered just a little on each because I didn't wanted them to "look the same" but I quickly realized that the fabrics used to make the bears determined what they were going to look like because each one of them took the polyfil a little differently. I used a lightweight fabric stabilizer on all of the fabrics except one and the t-shirt material still stretched and created a larger bear (the green panda). They were fun to make and I think I am going to invest in the proper joints for future projects.
