Notes from Sayjai (the translator)

- I have translated this pattern, but have not made the bear myself. My apology for not being able to answer questions on how to make this bear.
- The original pattern does not have notes on how to assemble the body parts. It also does not describe the embroidery. But this is pretty straightforward: you sew everything together. You can see how the mouth and eyes are embroidered on the photos.
