Can anyone please help I have been looking for a small bear made in the hoop 4X4 or similar to make for our baby parcels for Country Women's Association in Australia.

Dixie, one of the CUTE members has a free one - you can go to this project and get the info on it and view the bears, too!

Thanks Shirlene I will try these as well Thanks for the advice

There's a small in the hoop pattern at joydesign, have a look. It's a free pattern meant to sew for their charity. Maybe you can ask permission to use it for yours.

Thank You I will try these out they look like they will be OKay

On SewForum there are bear dolls in 3x3 and 5x7 that are made in-the-hoop. Log in and search for "bear doll" in free embroidery designs. The author is perfect_fit. There are also cat, dog, bunny, and cow dolls available.

on these sites they have a new free design every 10 minutes, very often there are bears too. the designs are mostly in small format.

Thank You for your advice I will have a look

and another one here

Dixie, if you mean a 3 dimentional bear insted of a embroidered design, try www.moosbestitin.com and have a look at the hugums, there is an adorable bear with blankie. I bought the design myself and it comes out great. I sewed it out on some beige stretch velvety fabric I bought from lincraft at only $6.99/mtr it worked a treat and because it is 140cms wide you can get about 20 bears out of each metre! Hope that helps cheers, Ruth
