I'm looking for a pattern for a small stuffed bear. He is about 6-8" high and made from 3 pieces of fabric. Very simple and quick.

I have a book teach yourself teady bear making, and I will see what they have in there.

I just looked through it, and it is for ones with moveable arms and legs.

I have one or two 3 piece bear patterns, but don't see them online, so not an option.

For this one - you do a front and back and cut a circle for the face. Attach partially to face, stuff, then complete attachment. Sew the front and back together leaving opening, turn out. Stuff the ears light, then sew in an arc across (to add ear dimension). Then stuff bear, sew opening closed. If intended for a young child, it's easier to embroider the eyes on before you sew up the bear.

Finally, if you just want 2 pattern pieces, try Carol's Zoo. I have a link here, but you probably can find a used pattern cheaper at Ebay. You do not have to use fun fur.

here's a freebee, but I don't know what the size is. Again, you do NOT have to use fur. You can use cotton. You can even use knit fabric, although I would fuse a stabilizer on it first.

This one is very cute, but not exactly what I am looking for. The one I want has the back like this, but the front is in 2 halves so that there is dimension on the face and nose.

Could this be what you are looking for? The illustration looks to be a 3 piece.

edited to add. Wait, never mind. This is the Carol's Zoo Bear!. 2 piece pattern, but you cut the front twice. also, this one is in Australia and you can get it at the link I already gave you (edited first post).

Thanks, everyone. So far, non of these is the one I'm looking for. He was made from 3 different calico fabrics. There was one flat back piece with no seam, and 2 front pieces with a seam down the center front. His arms and legs were pretty short.

the only one I have is for a 13" bear the back is one piece and the front has two pieces, or I have a flat one that you sew the pieces on to make a face
