Bear Hugs & Homemade Goodies — Embroidery Pattern

Nothing says cozy quite like a warm kitchen, homemade cookies, and a big bear hug! Bear Hugs & Homemade Goodies is a sweet Thimbles & Tales embroidery pattern filled with old-fashioned baking charm and handmade happiness.

This lovable little bear baker is dressed in a gingham apron and oversized chef’s hat, ready for a day of baking. With a wooden spoon in one paw and a gingerbread cookie in the other, he’s surrounded by charming kitchen details including a mixing bowl, rolling pin, decorated cookies, and a cookie jar reminding us that “Cookies Make Life Sweeter.”

Designed with simple outline embroidery and minimal fill, the pattern uses classic red, blue, brown, and warm neutral accents while leaving plenty of fabric showing through. The result is a cozy, vintage-inspired stitched design that is fun to embroider without requiring large areas of dense stitching.

Your pattern includes an 8.5 × 11 transfer design, DMC floss color suggestions, stitch guide, and supply list.

Perfect for dish towels, aprons, pillows, tote bags, framed kitchen embroidery, Christmas gifts, or handmade presents for your favorite baker or cookie lover.
