I've sewn up this easy to make nerdy bear plush, I've called him "Sugar on top bear," with the intention of giving it to your very own valentine on valentine's day. You won't be needing a sewing machine for this, it's all done by hand. I want everyone to be able to do it. You can also add or elaborate to this design, maybe embroider the back panel with "Be Mine" or "I love you" If you're not that skilled with embroidery you can write it on a tag and sew it to one of his ears! Hope you enjoy this tutorial <3
