Free Cindy Bear Pattern!
It’s always the season of love right? Hope you liked my Peter and Jane Patterns on a bench. Decided to release my Cindy Bear pattern for free this month! She works up pretty and pretty fast too with her skirt and flower. The head and body are continuous, but the detailing does include some attachments!
