There are lots of different materials that can be used for these bears from super fluffy minky fabric, to fleece, to flannel, to cotton, and probably most everything else in between. You can even have a bear made out of someone's favorite pieces of clothing as a memory bear. Each type of fabric results in a slightly different looking and feeling bear.
My friend knew she wanted a fabric that could be played with and handled and would still look cute. After telling her about a couple of different types of fabric, she said she liked flannel, but did not want anything green or black. So I went to JoAnn's and sent her pictures of about 4 or 5 different plaid flannels that they had there in different colors and styles. She chose the ones she liked the best and a contrasting velour for the inside of his ears and his muzzle, and I got to work.
Here is the finished bear.
