In this sewing workshop you’ll make your own memory bear, turning old or unused clothing into a keepsake soft toy. This is a great way to reuse garments that have meaning, or simply give new life to fabrics you don’t want to throw away. You’ll be guided step by step through the construction process to create a fully finished bear to take home. What You’ll Make You’ll complete a fully made memory bear using fabric you bring to the class. Each one will be completely unique depending on the materials used.
