Hi! I love this little bear ornament! A few of us moms are reading a bear book at ours kids school and we always make ornaments to go along with it. We would love the pattern to this felt bear ornament. Without being a member is there any way I can buy just the pattern somewhere?

Hi! I am shiny new and so excited! I thought I downloaded the .SVG file for this but it is just an HTML copy, I tried a couple of files and same thing, What am I doing wrong?

I made the bear, fox & raccoon for our Christmas ornament exchange and they were big hits! Thank you for the beautiful patterns! For the person who was asking about the beads, I got a multi-pack of black beads from Michaels for ~$4 and tested out different-sized beads until I found the ones that looked right.

YOUR FELT SOFTIES ARE ADORABLE! ABOVE IT STATES ONE FREEBIE….I AM NOT A MEMBER SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 5.00 PER MO. ONE OF YOUR OTHER SITES STATED “FREE” PATTERNS. DID I MIS-READ THE WHOLE THING? YOUR WORK LOOKS WONDERFUL AND VERY QUALITY!

  Hi Willa. Does it say that in comments or in the text? We only have one site so if that was stated it was from someone else. Our membership includes all of our patterns, printables and cutting machine files for $5 a month or we can sell to you on Etsy for $5 each. We think this is a great deal. 😉

    I believe this was free at one time before your site became a subscription service. It is too bad there is no longer no access to the previously free designs.

      Yes, my templates did used to be free for all. A few months ago we had to switch to a membership program in order to continue crafting at a larger capacity. You can read about it here: https://liagriffith.com/confessions-of-a-blogger-part-2/

Thank you. These are so cute. I’m going to try to make them with the kids tonight.
Curious to know if you use the Cricut machine to cut the felt figures?

  There are all cut by hand. I am waiting for Cricut to optimize their felt cutting before I share it on the blog. 😉

I’m new to your blog and apologize if you have addressed this before, but I want to buy a cutting machine and am so confused about what to buy. Can you advise?

  It is one of my favorite questions:) Here is a post about it https://liagriffith.com/why-i-gave-away-my-silhouette-and-replaced-it-with-cricut-explore/ I wrote that post a couple of months ago and now have another 20 reasons to add why I love it so much. We use it everyday in my studio. There is a link on my site for Cricut, think they are still on sale https://liagriffith.com/cricut-explore-super-sale/
