*Make a Teddy Bear (Saturday)  

Visual of the course

Description

Make your own Teddy Bear!

Make a teddy from your old jeans or scrap fabrics - after practising basic sewing skills and learning how to use the pattern master to measure accurately, you will begin to draw the pieces to construct a teddy bear from a pair of old jeans or similar material. You will learn how to accurately measure and construct parts of the bear. Finally weigh the filling for your bear before closing.

You must have previous sewing experience and feel confident using a sewing machine to sew basic stitches.
