in I wanna buy it or do it
Hi all.

My DD is desperately wanting a pair of satin pj's for her bear factory bear, but I really begrudge paying £8 odd for them. I can get by on my sewing machine if I have a pattern to work from, so does anyone know where I would find clothes patterns that would fit the bear factory bears?!

I will be massively grateful and will send you lots of good wishes if you could help! :D

    You can google for free patterns. Depending on the size of the bear there are baby and children's patterns you could adapt.

    Why not try make your own pattern by drawing round existing clothes and make them from those.

    Thanks - this is kind of a last resort for me as I am not that hot on clothes adapting. I know it's probably going to be easier than it looks, but am worried about messing it up!! Thanks for your help though x

    Thanks Little John - I hadn't really thought if this, but I suppose it can't be too hard... Maybe I should just get on with it instead of trying to find an easier way! Thanks a lot x

    If you have an existing pattern and know someone with access to a photocopier you may be able to get them to reduce the size on there for you
