Memory Bears

I've been asked to make a Memory Bear for someone in DH's extended family. I am very happy to do it.
However I gave away all my soft toy books a while ago and the 3 teddy bear patterns I have are not really suitable (all too simple).

I have two small adult sweatshirts with pretty embroidery to work with, so plenty of fabric.

Can anyone recommend a good pattern for this sort of thing?

Thanks Ruth

Thanks, Funky Friends Factory look great

I'll ask the requestor what sort of animal she thinks would be best. The recipient has a dog but collects teddy bears, so I was asked to make a bear.

And the dog has won the vote. I am now making two dogs @sewhayleyjane! Wish me luck (it'll be 3 as I'll make a test one first)
